Atari 2000 labelled UK power supply found : /

[thechallengeofnexar]

Hello Atari fans. Possibly a boring post but here goes anyway.

 

I've come across an unusual and official Atari brand CX2000/2600 power supply (UK 240V).

 

I say "rare" because i've probably handled over 1000 2600 PSUs as I recondition the Woody 2600 light sixer models and have purchased 100s of job lots over the last 10 years.

The label reads Atari CX-2000/2600 (in that order)

 

It's similar in design to the early 1977/78 Cherry Leisure and Ingersol PSUs which came with UK Sunnyvale light Sixers and the PAL heavy Sixers but must have been made in 1982 (after the Val Proto was made obviously).

 

As far as i'm aware it's unique and interesting that is says 2000 first as it if was made with the Val model in mind?

 

Has anyone ever seen a 120V one of these? Probably not that interesting to most of you, but is to me considering the obscurity of the CX-2000 so I must be the only person with labelled power supply for one.

 

A label error but shows the 2000 was on someones mind at the factory in the UK for it to be produced.

 

Any thoughts?

I think it's cool. Can't say I've ever seen anything from the great California company that was made in England!
