Gys,

what size wire comes off the atari big blue cap? I have brittle wires that need to be replaced and looking for the correct stuff.

thanks!
 
Some of them are 18AWG. Some might be 16AWG.
Can't go wrong if you use the latter slightly larger gauge (ie 16 which is rated 24.5A at 40degC etc).
Or 14 or 12 ... as long as you also buy the right size connectors.

Atari used UL Style 1015 too ... 105degC / 600VAC/750VDC rated, VW-1 etc.
Not that this matters too much if you're replacing the wire for the voltages on the brick.
But a good guide nonetheless.
