That looks like it has lost it's serial number sticker (often a paper label).
If coming from the U.K. with a U.K. 13A standard mains plug, it's most likely a U.K. spec. machine.
There is plenty of help over on StarDot including how to convert a U.K. spec Beeb PSU to work on 110/120V mains.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

Cheers Mark. Yes it looks like the PSU mod is pretty straightforward. I reckon it's been imported privately to the US but never used here

Don't forget to replace C1, C2 and C9 before powering on (assuming that they have not been changed and are still the originals). These are all in the PSU.
