Atari psu

[level42]

But Im interested what Etienne means ?

I'll write it in names, thats easier 

Bela - Bela's brother - chris chris - André

Yeah, that is the plan.
I will be in Brussels in January or February, I can take it with me, I hope I won't get involved in the same situation as Muerto did in Gatwick airport.

Will you be flying with the power brick ?? Brave man !!! If you dont feel like doing that I totally understand and have no problem at all paying shipping my friend. Dont want you to get into delays/problems about it !

I guess if I show it to the security guys in advance, they won't arrest me.

Arrived yesterday
Seems like complete, except of fuses.






It is almost 8kg.

Measurements please   

[level42]

Thank you Béla !!! This is the first time I actually see that Atari logo label still on the transformer !! Not sure if all the power-bricks were supplied with it though....but being an Atari-junky this is extra cool

And so would a repro-sticker be  Etienne

Do note that there are various transformer types used (see my posting nr. 2 https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3207.msg43470#msg43470) so for the completely anal types ( ) you'll need to change the transformer number according to that table depending on which power supply it is

No probs, it is your Xmas gift from me!
Lol, I was waiting for Etienne's measurement request.

WAAAAAHHH a real donation for the Lunar Lander project. That makes you 5% owner of the to-be cab !  
And of course.....a life-time free-play bonus  

Thanks very much my friend !!!

By the way, that's a nice scale !!! Are you still sure you want to take that on the plane with you considering the weight/size/looking like a bomb ??
Really it is no problem at all if you prefer to ship it to me through post, I'll of course cover the costs !

(On the other hand, the customs guys face is probably pretty priceless when they check it out.... )

I've been playing the iPad Lunar Lander a lot lately and I must say it rocks on that already.... the touch screen is at least somewhat resembling the thruster but not really of course.

Here's a nice video which shows the game in action PLUS the thrusters's role.

It's funny to see his strategy in playing....I usually let the ship come in much faster and then try to thrust like hell and steer correctly to land it The thing is you must be very economic with the fuel !!

[Etienne MacGyver]

Not a problem,
here is what i got now, (based on a very skewed image)
I see there is 2 models, and each models has revisions.

I cannot make out of the pic which revision you have, as a matter of fact, i dont see any revision printed at all 

I did add a revision line, or do you prefer just the model without revision ?

[Etienne MacGyver]

I do in fact have another donation to the lunar lander project, but you need to promiss me that you will restore this psu like this guy did 

[level42]

Mmmm.....although I totally appreciate that work, I am not THAT anal.... I'll give it a good cleaning for sure, will check the Big Blue (still got a replacement from BR on stock, should it be needed) and put in some fresh fuses but I guess that's about it....

I'm not too keen on the gold-paint on that beautifully restored one...it's a bit too much for me....

[Etienne MacGyver]

i'll donate my idea anyway 

what about the revision question ?

[level42]

Yes !

Well....I did a little research. The pics on the original ad (quickly saved them, the ad is still there) shows a pic with a label on the underside with the number A0-35888-01

Following Jed's table (see earlier posts) this was used on PS Assy (Power Supply Assembly) A037671-XX
(From that we learn that it is the unshielded version)

Following this, the Transformer used is either a 142003-001 or a 142003-002. There is no indication what the difference between -001 and -002 is.
Anyway, only one wiring diagram is indicated so the difference can't be that big....

Anyway, it's either -001 or -002 and I have no idea how to say which it is.....anyone else knows ?

[level42]

Wait a minute, that restored one has 142005-001 printed on the side of the transformer.....

Don't see any printing on the one Béla found though....maybe it's simply dirty ?

[Etienne MacGyver]

thats a good investigation, but i still dont know if you want the revision on there the way i did, or just simply behind the number, so without the extra "Rev. " line in the label

whatever the number will be, i can print them if i know in which way you prefer it.

maybe bela can clean a bit and check the transformer for you ?

could it be that there is a difference in amps between the revisions ? (just a guess..)

[Belike]

There used to be a sticker on side, but it is gone by now:

The whole thing was painted to black and I can see the dust under the painting, so it was made by an idiot, he was too lazy to clean it before the job.
By the way, the big blue is more than fine, it is a 26000 mf 15 V cap and I measured 26230 mf and 0,02 ohm resistance on it with my magic equipment.
