Further to my posts under topic "Power Supply Voltage", i am still trying to get my old Atari working! I have conirmed it is an Atari VCS CX2600, dating from 1978/79. It was purchased, and used, in UK, and is therefore the PAL system. So far I have been unable to get any signs that it is working, so a good start would be to know which channel (21 to 69) to tune my TV to. At least if I know the TV is tuned, I can start looking at other areas, such as connections. Please help me!!

Hey guys! Sincere thanks for your VERY PROMPT help! Very much appreciated. My daughter, who is at University, saw the Atari in the attic and asked if she could take it back to her flat - so now I'm pleased to be able to get it working. Must have been in the attic for at least 15 years!!

I have an ancient Atari, dating from 1978/79 and purchased in UK. I assume it is Atari 2600, although no info is shown on the unit! Its power supply unit is long since lost, and I need to know the input voltage, and if the tip of the connector plug is positive or negative. I have a mains adaptor with adjustable power output (1.5v, 3v, 4.5v, 6v, 7,5v, 9v, 12v) which I hope I can use.
