Questions and Answers Question: Can this High-end ColecoVision 28.5 Watt Power Supply be used on any ColecoVision in the world? Answer: Yes as long as it is an original ColecoVision game console manufactured by Coleco. The ColecoVision game console was manufactured between August 1982 to January 1985 and was offered in both NTSC and PAL. This high-end 28.5 watt Power Supply works with both NTSC and PAL ColecoVisions and also the power supply has a input voltage between 100-240 volts with 50Hz/60Hz at 0.8 amps (works with power cord styles for every country). Question: Can this ColecoVision High-end 28.5 Watt Power Supply power the OPCODE Super Game Module, Roller Controller, Expansion Module #1 ATARI 2600 adapter, Expansion Module #2 Steering Wheel, and also the Expansion Module #3 ADAM computer? Answer: Yes this 28.5 watt ColecoVision power supply works perfectly fine with the OPCODE Super Game Module, Roller Controller, Expansion Module #1 ATARI 2600 adapter, and Expansion Module #2 Steering Wheel (Technically the Steering Wheel uses its own internal power supply). However, this 28.5 watt ColecoVision power supply and also the original 80’s ColecoVision power supply was never designed to power the Expansion Module #3 ADAM computer. However with extensive testing the Expansion Module #3 ADAM computer worked with the keyboard and MicroSD Floppy Emulator using this 28.5 watt ColecoVision power supply instead of using the ADAM computer DB9 power supply (However not enough power to power things like the Digital Data Drive with this 28.5 wattt power supply if the ColecoVision wiring harness is used instead of a ADAM computer wiring harness). Also, the ColecoVision wiring harness was never designed to power the ADAM computer and there may be some hardware variations of the ColecoVision and Expansion Module #3 ADAM computer that would not work 100% correctly. So if one wants to use all the functions of the Expansion Module #3 ADAM computer with the Digital Data Drive and other hardware devices, then one should continue to use or purchase a dedicated ADAM power supply so that one can power the ColecoVision with the Expansion Module #3 ADAM computer attached. Question: How does this 28.5 Watt ColecoVision compatible power supply compare to the original 1982 ColecoVision power supply and all other power supplies that have been released? Answer: This Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B is the best quality level VI complaint ColecoVision compatible power supply every made (high-quality shielding improves picture quality by eliminating or reducing EMI/RFI interference). A massive amount of USA and international safety certifications means a green adapter with high safety, high reliability, and high quality. This Mean Well power supply is 28.5 watts and can power just about anything possible that is added in the future to the ColecoVision videogame console (This Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B power supply is capable of offering 3 to 4 times the current output when compared to the original 1982 ColecoVision power supply). Also this Mean Well ColecoVision compatible power supply is better quality when compared to the Col USB plug when sold as a 17 watt 3.4 amp USB-C Power Supply kit. Question: Why is the ColecoVision wiring harness (ColecoVision compatible power cord) detachable from the Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B power supply and not soldered directly on the circuit board inside the power supplies plastic case? Answer: We originally contacted Mean Well to get the ColecoVision wiring harness directly soldered and professionally installed at their robotic factory in Taiwan (which would also mean the 3 year warranty would still be valid if Mean Well solders the wiring harness directly inside their power supply). However, Mean Well informed us that the minimum QTY required to install the ColecoVision compatible wiring harness is a minimum order of around 2,000 power supplies. Since we have calculated the demand for a ColecoVision power supply being only around a QTY of 500, we ended up having a high-end Chinese factory with the help of automated machines make a detachable ColecoVision compatible power cord. Yes, we could have manually soldered the ColecoVision wiring harness directly to the inside of the Mean Well power supply, however we decided not to do this since it would void the 3 year Mean Well warranty. Therefore the advantage of the detachable ColecoVision compatible power cord is that the 3 year warranty on the Mean Well power supply is still valid, and if the power supply were to go bad in 10 to 20 years there is a possibility that one might be able to buy another compatible Mean Well power supply and plug their existing ColecoVision compatible power cord into the replacement power supply. Question: You claim that this 28.5 Watt Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B power supply is the best level VI complaint ColecoVision compatible power supply on the market, however according to Mean Well's website there is a 46.5 Watt Mean Well GP50A13A-R1B power supply that exists with better specs. Why is the Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B a better ColecoVision power supply? Answer: The Mean Well GP50A13A-R1B costs around $20 more and yes on paper the specs are better, however after doing extensive testing we discovered that the Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B power supply is a much better power supply when it comes to short circuit protection (also the Mean Time Before Failure Rating on the GP50A13A-R1B is less hours and only 280,000 hours versus 620,000 hours for the GP25B13A-R1B). We discovered that the Mean Well GP50A13A-R1B power supply is poorly engineered for short circuit protection, and if one takes a screw driver and touches the 5 volt rail to the 12 volt rail on the DIN plug the power supply is good for only one short circuit and needs to be thrown away since it never recovers. During a 6-month period we purchased 4 different Mean Well GP50A13A-R1B power supplies and all 4 power supplies had to be thrown away because of the defective short circuit protection. If one shorts the 5 volt rail to the 12 volt rail the power supply short circuit protection is destroyed and never recovers because of an engineering design flaw with that model. The last thing we want to do is sell a power supply that stops working completely if there is a rare condition where a ColecoVision Expansion Module causes a brief short on the 5 and 12 volt rail if someone forgot to turn off their ColecoVsion while plugging in a Expansion Module. An engineer at Mean Well also verified and was able to duplicate the problem of the Mean Well GP50A13A-R1B power supply going dead and never recovering when the 5 volt and 12 volt channels are shorted together with a simple screw driver inserted into the DIN plug. We also discovered while load testing that when the Mean Well GP50A13A-R1B is under a load, the power supply instead of putting out around -5 volts DC, actually outputs around -7.20 volts DC when under certain types of loads (being around 2 volts off is not acceptable for a regulated power supply). However the better quality Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B power supply that is also around $20 cheaper in price, is the power supply that we are selling and it has perfect short circuit protection, and one can short the 5 volt and 12 volt rails together several times with a screw driver for an hour or more and the power supply will always recover once the short is removed. The higher quality Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B power supply also outputs a stable voltage of around -5.19 volts DC when under the same load conditions that were attempted with the lower quality power supply that outputted -7.20 volts DC. Depending on the load the better quality Mean Well GP25B13A-R1B can be around 12.02 volts DC, 4.51 volts DC, and -5.19 volts DC for the 3 stage regulated DC output (voltages that are off plus or minus 0.5 volts is acceptable voltage ranges for a 3 stage regulated DC output power supply). However if one owns or prefers to use a different power supply like the Mean Well GP50A13A-R1B with their ColecoVision they can, we sell the ColecoVision compatible power cord without the power supply (When using a different power supply with the ColecoVision compatible power cord, just make sure the power supply has the correct pin configuration, voltages, and minimum amp rating like 5 volts DC (min 0.9 amps), -5 volts DC (min 0.1 amps), and +12 volts DC (min 0.3 amps). *** Disclaimer *** Even though the Mean Well 28.5 watt power supply for the ColecoVision has a massive amount of safety certifications including UL listed (The 120 volt USA AC power cord is also UL listed). The enclosed high quality 18 gauge ColecoVision compatible power cord uses UL recognized material but is not UL listed. UL listed is an optional safety certification in the United States and is not required.
