deathtrappomegranate Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 if ANYBODY wants to donate these items, I will love you forever Note to DrLove0378: this is not an offer of a legally binding contract. <return to topic> If no-one closer to home can help you out, I might have a spare 110v PSU, but the shipping would be pretty high.

mimo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 no point in turning your 400 into a wok, the high temperatures required for cooking up your stir-fry will melt the plastic just get a 9.5 volt AC power supply, needs to pump out 1.5 amps or more.

doctorclu Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Rare indeed... the Atari 400 Wok. You will never find a better Wok in all of Ataridom. Nice choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Just as an aside... I've seen many occasions where someone asked for help finding something they needed and someone sent them one for free. But there's a whole different vibe when someone comes in saying "I want free stuff" (and I won't even touch the "love you forever" part). By the way, here's the part on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Atari-power-supply-ada...p3286.m20.l1116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm with you there. I have a bunch of spare 400/800 power adapters that normally I'd be happy to share, but in this case......

27ace27 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Oh dear, it has been so long since I've posted these I can now look back on them and see them in a new light. I now wonder what the heck I was thinking when I posted these, and I would like to apologize for being such a quick-tempered jerk. I also am still in need of a PSU.

mimo Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 welcome back:D Sorry you have not got a power supply sorted yet. You could try an ad in the marketplace wanted forum, or Best Electronics sell new ones. but if you can get a 9 volt AC or DC power supply that has at least 1 amp output you would be good to go. http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/power%20guide.htm http://www.myatari.com/atarixlh.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 A DC supply will not work on a 400/800. You have to use AC only. The XLs will work on DC, but not the old iron. Are you still looking for I/O on the 400? Bob welcome back:D Sorry you have not got a power supply sorted yet.

I can send you a power supply for A400-- just pay for the shipping. Pmail me. I'm surprised you're still looking for one after about 2 years. Here's what it states on the A400 power supply and it's same for A800 and 1050 disk drives: Power Supply Part Number CO17945 INPUT: 120V, 60Hz, 50W OUTPUT: 9V AC, 31VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
