Major_Tom_coming_home Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have a dead Atari 7800 ac adapter, and I was wondering if it is safe to cut the connector odd and splice it onto a functional AC adapter that uses the same voltage and amps as the original. I have drawers full of various adapters, but I haven't seen the one from the 7800 used in anything else. I'd expect that out of Apple or Nintendo but Atari??? Thanks much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Knight Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I use a various amount of different PSU's for my 7800's. 9V and over 1.5 Amp is a good rule of the thumb. Some have the splice for the adaptor and others directly soldered to the board. Unlike the A8 computers it's just V+ and 0v and not multiple rails.
