benstacey100 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I know this question is lame but i'm finding it difficult to get hold of an ac adapter to run my 2600. What adapter did they come with & how can i get hold of one? Ps; I bought the console on Portabello rd, London for 50 squidlies & came without adapter if curious. Apreciate your help!

bcprs1 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I think Radio Shack still sells them, but you might be better off looking around the net. I have seen people selling them on ebay all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 You'll probably have to get a univeral adaptor... nothing else uses the 8mm headphone-style jack anymore. If worst comes to worst, you could probably attach a 9 volt battery to some headphones..... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Find this. If you can't, then find a universal that can accomodate: Rating: 9VDC, 500mA Plug type: 1/8" phone Polarity Tip: Positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I sell NOS (New Old Stock) Atari brand power supplies for the Atari 2600. They operate off 120VAC/60HZ Input, which is standard here in the USA, but I imagine it is different for you in London. I sell they for only $6.25 each. Here is the link to them on my online shopping cart - http://juniescreations.netfirms.com/cgi-bi...ir/Update_Parts. If the input is different and will not work like I think, there is another option. The website Best Electronics sells a German/Europe version Atari 2600 power supply for $12. Here is the details -- "Atari German 2600 Power supply CA017087 $12.00 Here is the link to Best Electronics website - http://www.best-electronics-ca.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
