Vintage Radio Shack TRS-80 PC-2 AC Adapter / Power Supply

Offered here is an original vintage Radio Shack / Tandy TRS-80 AC adapter associated with the TRS-80 Pocket Computer PC-2 and its Model 26-3605 Printer/Cassette Interface.

This is an original Radio Shack-labeled Japanese-made power supply, not a modern replacement.

Testing

The adapter has been tested with a digital multimeter and is producing approximately 9.36V DC with no load connected.

The adapter is rated for 9.0V DC at 500mA maximum. It was not tested under load or connected to a TRS-80 PC-2 during this test, so the listing does not represent the test as a full equipment/load test.

Compatibility / Historical Use
