Vic-20 2-pin power connector

Post by thumb »

I've built a power supply for my C64 and C128 and would like to add a line for the vic-20 but don't know where I can get one of the 2-pin connectors that plug into the Vic-20. Anyone have a source where I could get one?

I already posted on Lemon. I hope you are using a beefy +3amp (or more) transformer.

It's a common style that's used on boomboxes from the 80's thru today. :) Actually, most laptop power supplies that are ungrounded use a similar connector, the pins should be spaced the same. I bet you'll trip on some if you walk into most IT departments.

I pulled out a box of power and electrical cords that I've been saving for years and found 5 of them. I think I'm good to go now. Thanks
