Reality Studio Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I'm not too worried about them because I recognize their shape, I've seen them used on electronics far more expensive than my Atari 800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one you linked to (Ebay) is not suitable for an Atari 800 (9v ac). Those are XL/XE only (5v dc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the auction listing says so as well. But the op was asking about all the Atari 8 bit's, and those will work on most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenski Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Anyone used this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adapter-charger-for-9VAC-AC-Atari-CO17945-400-800-810-850-1010-1050-1200XL/352530105417?epid=4018359754&hash=item52146e8449:g:3-oAAOSwLr1b~zau&frcectupt=true T-Power - I'm looking for something I can just use across different devices but can't tell if it would have enough juice to run an 810 or 1050.

adam1977 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Here's a link to the one I bought, cheaper too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173560426585 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They slyly don't specify the amperage in that listing. It looks too small to me to be anything beyond 1A. You'll have to message the seller to ask. I did so once and they confirmed 1A. I replied back saying contrary to their listing, that is not enough to power an 810 or 1050, which they of course ignored and the listing was never corrected... Here's a link to the one I bought, cheaper too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173560426585 That one is 3A, so definitely more than sufficient. Looks appropriately beefy like the Atari supplies too. Listing says its a 5.5 x 2.1mm connector, so I presume you had to use an adapter or replace it with a 5.5 x 2.5mm connector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamer320i Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I've been using these on my 810, 1050 and 1200XL without any issues :-) https://www.psuexpress.co.uk/products/alesis-dm10-drum-module-power-supply-psu-replacement-adapter-uk-9v-ac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced it with a 2.5mm connector yes, and extended the lead too, but an adapter would have worked fine as well. It's a good power supply and with the same specs as the original Atari one I had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookt Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Getting my stuff out of storage, I've either sold all my original Atari 9VAC PSUs along with drives etc, or they're somewhere I haven't found yet. So I started looking around for a replacement. I'm in the UK and just picked up one of these to run a 1050. It's over spec'd at 3A but that's only the max output and there was little difference in price between that and the 2A version. The connector is the wrong size (2.1mm inner) so I grabbed this adapter from them too which saved cutting cable and soldering a new connector. In the limited testing I've done so far all seems well and if it stands up I might grab one or two more when I have the cash to keep in the cable box. EDIT - just saw Beamer's post and see the unit he listed not only has the right size plug but is also somewhat cheaper. Nice find! Also noticed that I picked up the same unit as Adam1977 - great minds! Edited May 13, 2019 by spookt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZroe Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) good for USA, but being 120v, it won't help the UK/EU problem. back to drawing board for the OP, I'm afraid. The OP doesn’t say anything about UK/EU or 220/240v input. Is this a merged thread? Edited May 13, 2019 by CZroe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
