Compatible or Official Power Supply Source?

[RockyRaccoon]

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? ?

[RockyRaccoon]

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?

Power jack 3.5mm x 1.35mm. Minus on the outside, plus in the center.

DC 9V 1A (minimum) You could get more A like 1.5A or 2A

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:

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.

Aha. 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.
