New 400 owner - need power supply!

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm an old 2600 collector, and had the chance to buy a 400 recently, got it, the 410 tape deck, and 6-7 games. Probably overpaid, considering I don't know if it works or not.

 

In the process of cleaning it up, and trying to save a few bucks. Does anyone have a 400/800 power supply lying around that they are willing to part with for a few bucks?

 

Thanks!

I would get ahold of Best Electronics or B&C Computervisions. They both carry NOS power supplies and in my experience, are both very helpful.

 

A stock (18w) would be fine for a 400, but if you'd like something more heavy duty, you can use the 50w psu from an Atari floppy drive and it'll probably last you forever.

While it's open, be sure to reseat the chips in their sockets and the boards in their slots. That scapes off corrosion and gives it a better chance of working when you turn it on.

 

Also post your serial number and date code in the thread "Calling All 400s!"
