IBM PC Jr

[jrk196511]

A friend gave me an almost complete IBM PC Jr. I have the monitor, keyboard, all the software, but it's missing the power supply/cord. Anyone know where I could find one?

Thanks Jim

Discount Computers in Flint, MI has some. (Tell the person who answers the phone to look in the basement, there's quite a few of them down there). Drop my name if necessary, Lew will recognize it. (810)235-3111. Beware: shipping on one will kill ya...they don't call it a "brick" fr nothing.

Better yet, PM me your phone # and I'll look into it.

Just to clarify what Terry said, it's not just a power cord. The Jr uses an external power transformer, and yet another power card inside of the machine. The external power transformer takes wall voltage down to 17.5VAC, and the internal card converts it to the DC voltages necessary for the computer.

The external power transformer is affectionately known as 'the power brick.'
