Really? Wow. 7800 AC adapters are fairly hard to find by themselves.

I'm helping Simple Jet (the guys who are making good quality new manufacture NES 72 pin connectors) make new 3rd party Atari 7800 AC's, and 3rd party ColecoVision AC adapters. Hopefully it comes to fruition....

I hope this does come to pass, but they would need to be reasonably priced otherwise people could just buy 7800 power supplies from places like Best & CV bricks from ecoleco/adams house. They are around as NOS pieces but paying $20-30 is usually more than what an untested but complete setup would run you on ebay before shipping. So often it's cheaper to just buy a used one with a whole nother console for spare.

I didn't know ecoleco/adam's house had them.

If these come to pass, they would be wall wart style, new manufacture, and hopefully, at wholesale, around $10 each. Both types. What does Best sell the NOS at?

I'd like to adopt one. They are so cute when they are brand new.

It use to be $15 from the Rev 10 catalog. I believe I've seen them list on ebay in the past too, for a little under $20 But I don't see them listed on their site. I was thinking it was around $20 though. I believe I've seen them list them on ebay for around $17.95 in the past.
