thegamezmaster Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hi, does anyone know what other Atari Power Supplies or other power supplies will work on an Atari 5200? Will an Atari 400 Power Supply work? I found an Atari 5200 in my vast boxes of video game stuff and would like to see if this works or not,thanks.

joeybastard Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'm pretty sure you SHOULDN'T use a 400 or 800 supply with a 5200. I think you can blowout the voltage regualtors or something using the wrong supply on the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 From the Atari 8-bit FAQ: 9.3 V DC 1.93 A (18 W) Atari#CO18187 Indus GT,5200 11.5 V DC 1.95 A (22 W) Atari#CA019141 Indus GT,5200 Do not use an AC/AC adapter, like the ones shipped with the 400/800. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrock1977 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Go down to radio shack, they make a power supply that is 9 volts, 1.5 amps, I am using that one for my atari 5200 4-port and have had no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
