Where to get a power supply?

Recommended Posts

My stepfather is trying to "organize" (i.e., move stuff randomly around ;)) his cellar and he found a Colecovision. It doesn't have a power supply but I see there are some new ones available on eBay--is that the best place to get them? I googled and couldn't find them for sale anywhere else.

 

He also has three (!) Apple II's, a Commodore 64, two Commodore 128's, and some other stuff (not sure what as I haven't seen it yet). Do you think they would sell on here? He doesn't want a lot of money, just wants them to go to a good home.

May not be cost effective to buy a power supply just to sell it again with the console. If he or a family member was going to keep it, thats different.

I'm keeping the Coleco. He's selling the other stuff.

And if you are fan of hacking hardware, you may consider to try using an old AT (not ATX) power supply to turn it into a robust power supply for your ColecoVision (or even Coleco ADAM computer).

4Jays is definitely a good place, I just got a colecovision and I'll probably buy a roller controller and the #2 module when I get the money a I've got three games that don't work without them( slither, victory, turbo ) also should make War games easier. Though that's an awesome computer find, though he should definitely test them all out if he can find the power supplies.

Thanks for the link. :) Somehow I didn't missed that when I searched. He's going to take everything up from the cellar (I'm at my mom's now) so we can test them. He says the Commodores work for sure, the Apples he is not sure about. He already brought up one of the Apple IIC's and it's complete with the keyboard, stand, and monitor. He said he might have some drives and stuff down there too.
