classicgamer74 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I'd like to purchase a power source for the Colecovision. Please make sure it is working. Drop me a line and we can negotiate. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a ColUSB in work lab since it is so small and easy to keep around. I've been using the replacement Keelog PSU that I received in m actual gameroom on my main CV. While there is some slight noise I can see from the composite output through my AV setup, it is less than the other larger PSU that 1080P sells through ebay was giving me. On my RGB output, both of those supplies do not show any noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer74 Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 I appreciate that. But I was looking at some of the prices and they were quite high. Unless I'm not looking in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with an OEM supply is that while they can be rebuilt, you have to cut them open to do so as the housing is sonic welded shut. And the dang things are just massive and heavy. I really didn't like using the OEM supplies in my worklab because of how much outlet the take up on my power strip LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have just saved time and asked you about this first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Stone age gamer sells them. https://stoneagegamer.com/colusb-power-supply-adapter-for-the-colecovision-usb-c.html You will still need a USB C cable to power it along with a decent charger to provide the power. I use a spare tablet charge for my old Lenovo tablet that seems to work really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
