If anybody could give me the specifications for a replacement power supply for the 2600 I would greatly appreciate it. I know there was a thread regarding power supplies but I just can't find it. I am particularly interested in the diameter and length of the plug part that goes into the console. Thanks in advance for your help.

MCM electronics sells a really nice replacement PS for the Atari. It's dead on perfect, and has a VERY long cord, allowing the Atari to be pulled out to be played (as it was meant to with those really short controller cords).

Otherwise, replacements are pretty easy to find. Most of the original Atari AC's I see are DOA.
