So I have an Atari 2600 4-switch wood grain which I am currently developing homebrew code for. I am obviously invested in keeping my Atari clean and well-functioning for the long haul so that I can continue to test my homebrew on real hardware.
With that said, the power adapter I have for the console is not original. It is a generic power supply from China that reads the following: "AC Adapter, Input: 100-245 VAC 50/60 HZ, Output: DC9V - 500mA". The coord works, it powers the system; however, I am not a fan of using this power supply that did not come with the system. I worry that it could eventually damage the board, etc.
I have seen links for an "Atari 2600 Deluxe Power Cord" that was made in Europe (Italy? i think), but I am not sure they are still in stock. Anyways, I would like to get a better/safer power supply.
Any suggestions?
