Best source for replacement ColecoVision power adapter?

[Gedalya]

I am looking at possibly purchasing a ColecoVision console from someone and it doesn't have the power adapter/brick. I was looking on eBay and saw some but to my surprise I also saw some labeled new. What is the best source for a replacement power adapter? Are the new ones on eBay legit? aftermarket even or are they cheap knockoffs? Is this the sort of thing B&C might have in stock? Thank you in advance.

I don't own one but I have heard good things about the COL-USB 

 

 

Stone Age Gamer sells them for $37.49 and just for kicks I checked out the shipping and because it is so small and light, the shipping is only $3.81 via U.S. MAIL

Willie C. does a nice youtube review of it at:

As he stated, you do need to supply a USB C charger and cable

 

Stone Age Gamer sells the cable for an additional $2.99

 

 

Hope this helps,

You should have a look at this thread, in particular the last page.

Also, be aware that if you're considering the Keelog supplies then search the AA forums for discussions on them.  I remember there being some issues discussed (I've read similar problems reported by the C64 community regarding the C64 supply).

The main issue with the CV one from Keelog was that the initial plugs didn't fit and you couldn't really use it. They send me a complete replacement PSU and it does fit and seems to work quite well. I keep it in the game room and use my ColUSB in the lab since that takes up much less space.
