RockyRaccoon Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Looking for a reasonably priced power supply that's compatible with the Lynx Model 1. Any on Ebay I find seem to be from Europe or China. Anyone know what will work or where to buy one or even have one for sale? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I seriously can't find one. Does anyone know the exact specs I should be looking for an polarity at least in a generic, universal one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) I bought one off ebay for like $6-7 last year and it works fine, was able to get it to search by US sellers and then found one located in California. it's a universal one. On the bottom it says Model SS-WP-090100B, Input 100-240V AC, and then Output 9V DC 1A here I found the exact one I bought, its actually $6.15 shipped and comes from California, has the same markings and sticker as mine: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-100V-240V-Converter-Adapter-DC-9V-1A-Power-Supply-Plug-3-5mm-x-1-3mm-1-35mm/272564788916?hash=item3f76209eb4:g:GssAAOSw4shX16jf Edited September 6, 2019 by UHATEIT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Best Electronics is a good place to check. But their website is basically a nightmare to navigate. I get it's old school- and that's fine!-- but I searched 'Lynx' all over using the 'Search' command and couldn't find it but apparently it exists somehow and I still missed it searching that way.

If you click "Index Listing" from the home page, then "Atari Power Supplies" you're there. Two clicks. I searched for "Atari Lynx AC adapter" on EBay and the first result was the official adapter sold by myatari, who has been in the game for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking all over that first front page. I'll remember that for next time I'm searching his website. X3. For now, I bought a compatible supply.
