Cool -- I have never before seen that particular console variation before. Is it PAL format?

Yes it is.

My official Asian JR with 128 games is pretty rare

 

I just bought one of these without any cords and a broken joystick port.  It's PAL-B but can you tell me what the original power adapter looks like?  I want to try and buy the correct one to piece together the original set.  Thanks.

Euro adapter.

The Asian version also includes Warranty (Asian Language), Atari Owner manual (English), Manual Addendum (English), 128 Games list, Cable and TV select switch.

My Asian JR was a gift from famous MicroProse programmer Steve Goss. We couldn't get it to work in the UK, because they don't have UHF frequency.

JR with the 16 in 1 cartridge is one of the rarest.

If you just check eBay, you can buy every version of the console at any time. Some versions are more desirable to collectors, so they are more expensive, but not rare.

This is pretty much true of all video game systems and their cartridges.  Rare is kind of a relative term too. But even the rarest of games and cartridges just aren't that rare. These things sold in the millions and were massed produced for years.  Enough people never threw them away. They are pretty sturdy too.   EBAY eventually showed that a lot of things people thought were rare actually are not very rare.  A lot of consumer stuff, especially stuff made from plastic is (was) just not viable in very small numbers.
