Well, it turns out that I didn't fry the Power Supply for my Atari 2600! The Power supply puts out about 14V DC while it is not under load. Everything seems to be back in working order now. The one good thing that came out of this, is that I found out that Frys does cary an exact replacement for the Atari 2600 power supply for $7.

I had a few friends over to watch the 4th of July Fireworks and to play some games. It was really cool to see the game room packed and hear all the games being played at one time! Funny thing, is that the 2600 was also a big hit :-)

Added a new link for another restoration site, that can be found under "Links to other Restoration Sites".

So my Galaga died today...
 
I'm not sure if it's coincidence or related, but I was turning the power off on my Defender by the power switch under the control panel at the exact time it failed. The switch was a bit tough to toggle so it was like in the half way position when it happened. Both games are on the same circuit.

Restoration/Preservation has begun on my Kickman.
 
It's not a full restoration, but more of a preservation of what is there.  I like trying to keep things as original as possible.  With that in mind, I can take a few chances on this one as the damage is already done.  I'm mainly trying to prevent even more damage when I can.  Worse comes to worse, I'll do a full restore on it down the road.
