EPROM Programmer Recommendation

[Thunderburp]

Hi everyone, would love to know what you guys are using to program your 2600 EPROMs?

 

I am looking to purchase one but have been told to be careful with some of the newer cheap versions available on Amazon and EBay etc as they have had trouble when trying to program there EPROMs with some of the modern programmers 

 

The one he used is no longer available so if anyone has any recommendations to ones they you can purchase today that would be great 

 

any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

I have my eyes on this thread because I would love to make my own carts. I was considering the Willem USB model (not sure the exact one)  but that is one I had found where the ones selling had a list of every compatible chip so I knew it would work for Atari. Plus I saw a video of a guy making one pretty quickly. I do not like it's exposed board though.

 

My criteria was one that would be up to $100, large comparability, and ease of use.

My thoughts exactly, would love to see what others are using

I have this setup, it's the most popular for making cartmods, don't think you need the adp-054 adapter for 2600

I have made nes, snes, master system and mega drive carts with it, never atari 2600 tho.
