Tne newer supplies are auto-ranging. Look for the one primary filter cap
(the largest one on the board). If it is rated for 400 VDC or above, OR it
has two cascaded >=200VDC filter caps, it is also auto-ranging. If it only
has one primary filter cap rated at ~200/250VDC then it is for domestic
(USA/CANADA) consumption.
