There are two types of 2 prong PSUs.
There are actually three types of N. American 2-prong power supplies that I know of.
The original all metal cased ones (with early VICs)
The large, black, retangular plastic ones with smoothed corners.
A very small plastic black "square" one that is totally sealed & cannot be opened like the other ones above.
I've been meaning to create a Denial WIKI article about all the power supplies available, with part numbers and pictures. I think I'll do that this week.

You are right. I forgot the second one you mentioned because this type of case was also used with early C64 PSUs with 9Vac/5Vdc output.
The interesting thing is that the several of the N. American power supplies share the same part number, although they are made and look very different (I confirmed this last night while taking pictures of my power supplies for the WIKI).
I still need part numbers for European power 220v supplies (i.e. the biege cheese wedge one, and rectangular ones).
Unfortunately there is a problem with the WIKI at the moment. You can log in, but not edit any articles. So, as soon as BBELL is able to fix this I can put up the article.

I stand corrected. But still, the cheese wedge type is much more common, at least up here in the dark, wet, windy north.
OTOH, is the European brick the same as the "black brick" American C64 users came to know and hate? You hear a lot about how often they failed and burned the C64 to a crisp; is that true for the European/UK version too?

I still need info on the UK/Europe/Australia Cheese-wedge power supply (Part No., specs, DIN or 2-prong?).
Please also correct the article if there is anything wrong. I don't know much about electronics, so I might have made a mistake.
Some of the info has been take from bbell's WikiVIC entry. Thanks!
The picture of the black 220v PSU you have, I don't think it is a 220v PSU. It almost looks like it, but not the plugs. The plug for the outlet in your picture looks exactly as the ones you have there for 110v, and the plug for the vic does not look like that here. It's more edgy (can you say that) and there is a slot betwen the two poles.

I suspected this was also a North American power supply (as it says it is made my NORTEL on it).
But it's strange that this power supply 902502-01 is EXACTLY like 902502-02 in appearance & construction, yet they have different part numbers (01 vs. 02 suffix).
