The Australian Mac 128k machines had 110v power supplies and shipped with an external 240v => 110v step down transformer. However, nearly every 128k that I encountered had at some stage been connected directly to 240v and had its original power/sweep board "blown up".
Hi shred,

out of interest, were you involved in selling Australian Mac 128K machines? It just seems unusual that they were 110V when the "european" 128K models were all 240V - many later Macs sold in Australia shared Apple European part numbers.

Very interesting - makes me wonder where my two 240V 128K Macs originated from :) Mine are both bone stock, and appear to not be upgraded (eg. with a later analogue board, 512K board). Apart from repairing the RAM in one, both have been rock solid I have to say - unlike many Pluses from a couple of years later which I've found have several analogue board faults. I appreciate there are probably one hundred fold more Pluses out there in the wild, however :)
