Which is weird > because until some years ago we had 220V, now 230V. I believe (Islanders have to confirm or deny) that in the past millennium they had 240 on the islands. If you remember the notorious rectifiers and VRs on the 1541 board - it was a trick to make them cook at slightly lower temperature by feeding the 220 (what we had at the time into the 240 transformer coil. There were two connections on the transformers. One had to disconnect one AC cable and solder it to another pin on the transformer. This other pin was there for 240V countries. > All nice but now the cherry on the cake: it has a "metal" sticker > on the back mentioning "VIC-1540". I think I have somewhere one that says the same (not sure anymore) and hoped it to be 1540 inside but no - just a regular, older 1541 > IMHO this is one of the first brown 1541s, although I cannot call > 95621 early. Any suggestions? Judging by the fact that I at least have seen a similar one (with 1540 on the label), it might be that there was a sizeable batch produced with such labels.
