Just to get back to the topic and add an American point of view: The
Exidy came with a detachable plug with two round pins, and with slots
on the body where the ground attached. Obviously, this could not fit
in a flat socket, but must require some sort of deep socket (I have no
idea what you would call it).

Here, I just attached a standard "3-prong" plug, the two flat prongs
are 110 VAC, the round is ground. The power supply now works fine
(thanks to Pete diagnosing a bad voltage regulator). We are still
working on other problems.
