RE: Asty power brick question..

The one in the picture you posted looks just like my stock Ateroids power block. As the other guys said, the US manual shows the multiple plug, zipped together like that. I think yours is original. -Malcolm

Based on experience, alot of early US made atari cabs had single voltage
power bricks wired for 110v, with no options on other voltage input. Later
cabs did have the multi selector version, and all european built cabs had
the multi selector version.

As far as I can recall, the transformer in the US single voltage bricks can
still have its primary directly re-wired for 240v input, but you need to
look at schematics to check and I dont have them to hand.
