Atari 7800, no power plug

[JacobZu7zu7]

Hey, I bought a 7800, but I don't know if it works, there's no power supply.

Anyone know if I can improvise somehow?

 

Thanks.

Best Electronics has them for $15 if you can't find one for less and get desperate

Atari Guide had some new ones made that work well:

Ebay would be the other best option

Just sold one recently... sorry

Just a question, 7800 section is 2 doors down the hall from 2600 section. Or maybe the OP missed it?

 

Anyway 7800 uses odd and nonstandard plug. If you're inclined, you could remove that plug and solder in a standard barrel style plug and use those common Genesis power supply or something like that.

Thanks for the help all. But I also think if thyr'z no AC adaptions that have two portals,

like the 7800 does.. then I'll do the eBay thing.

Again, thanks for all the tips. This is the first time I ever seen a 7800...

Quite nice, really.

I agree there is something very pleasing to the eye about the 7800

I'd recommend soldering in a 1/8 inch monaural jack for the power. This makes your new 7800 power brick compatible with most 2600's and the 2600 wireless joysticks.

 

Instructions for that could probably be searched easily. Tip's positive on the 2600 power supply, BTW. You'd wanna make sure your 7800 matches.
