I appreciate the PMs sent to me but I just want to clarify the following to make things easier.

I have had a couple of people messaging me saying that they have a Power Brick for Missile Command Cabaret/Mini.

The Brick for the UPRIGHT version is different and the one in the Cabaret will not drop into an Upright and simply work.

The UPRIGHT uses the brick in the above posted pics which is different.

I am not sure exactly why Atari did this but I do know that the voltages are different in MC which is why I am assuming the brick is also different. It also has to do with the fact that MC was made right after the Bronze era and I think they used the same size brick that maybe was left over or still available at that time.

I believe they used the bigger brick in MC in order to support the higher voltages needed by the larger cockpit monitor. It is my understanding that you can power a MC upright with a standard Atari raster brick. I"m sure somebody else knows better than me. My upright has the big brick. If you've got one, you know it.
