DustyCartridges Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Im was wondering if anybody had a spare Atari 5200 power supply. I was just given a free 5200 2 port console and i have no power supply for it. Ebay is really expensive so i was hoping some one on here could sell me one cheap? Let me know if you can.

The problem is that they weigh a ton and don't ship cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignGuy81 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just so I will know. I know that on 4 port PS plugs into RF and on 2 port PS plugs into console, but is it the same PS in each case and just a different RF unit for the 4 ports?

Id check google to be sure but i think its just how the power is hooked into the box is how the 2 and 4 port units differ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The 2 and 4 port PSU's are interchangeable AFAIK, unless you use a VCS adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Yes, same power pack for both models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Yes, same power pack for both models They do have different ratings, search the 5200 forum for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'm curious why the use of the VCS adapter would make a difference? The 2-port has lesser specs as compared to the 4port in regards to voltage so... does the 2port put out higher amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chicgamer Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Unless you're going for a stock power supply, you might consider ordering a new replacement from a store like Retro Game Supply. The power supply for my 5200 stopped working, and the replacement I got from them works without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
