  1. Hi there Atari enthusiasts! I just did my first foray into retro gaming, and grabbed an Atari 2600 (Light Sixer) from eBay. It comes with av-mod, games and controllers - the whole nine yards. However, the system is from the UK - with a UK power supply. I live in Denmark. As some of you might know, before 2003 European contries (such as Denmark) had a 220 V, 50 HZ power grid. The United Kingdom had a 240 V, 50 Hz power grid. Now they both have 230 V, 50 Hz. However, I heard that nothing really changed. UK power grid is still in around 240, whereas the european countries are 220-230 V. Modern appliances are just more forgiving and can be used both places. On the power supply itself to the Atari i Purchased; it says input: 240 V. My question is this: Can i plug this directly into a Danish socket (without converting the voltage, but just using a wall adapter) or will that damage my system? Do i have to buy a Danish/European PSU that accepts 220V?
