Thanks for clarifying.

Not to be a stickler but has the SMPS been converted to 220V or did the cab have an internal transformer setup.
AC input via that IEC socket goes through the 32pin hirose to the blast IO board where it is fed to the fluro, CRT and back to the SMPS. If you were to fit that PSU assembly into a stock cab you would send whatever your native voltage is (220V for arguments sake) to your CRT and fluro.

The correct 220v wiring for a blast is to have a separate transformer on the AC wiring that sits between the PSU connector and the io board. The 100/120v cabs have this connector with a loop in place.
I talked about it in my rewire threads:

Yeah this is what I was alluding to, I suspect the cab was converted in a similar manner and a label slapped on the back

Yeah agreed, otherwise you'd be doing as per your cab but for the CRT/Fluro, send in native 220V then transform back down to 100V for those components.
Apologies @Baldo206 not trying to derail or poison your sale thread just seeking to clarify things, even if the PSU is stock (100V) it's still worth selling, given the nature of how these are replaced (slide in out) a spare on standby is handy and easy to swap over.

Good catch, guys! Someone unknowingly plugging that in and sending 220/240V through it with would end up with a broken monitor, fluorescent light and PSU!
Yaton used to sell these. I wonder how many Blasts were wrecked as a result.

Offt nailed it
Jokes aside that is definitely a critical piece of info for a potential buyer as they may buy this thinking that's all they need to do is fit this PSU, I realise it is may be obvious for more tech savvy people but not everyone is.
