Boxed Commodore computers

I have purchased a couple CD32's from the dealer in China and they appear to be new, work perfect. Just my experience. :-)

Just to update. I haven't used my CD32 yet, because I still need to buy a 220v-110v step down converter, but the CD32 and all the rest really look like it's brand new. The story goes that Commodore had these NTSC units manufactured in the Philippines, but had problems importing the units into the States and went bankrupt. The manufacturer kept the units because they weren't getting paid by Commodore. The current units on eBay are probably NOS (new old stock) from that source.

About the PAL/NTSC issue, as far as I know you can switch this NTSC unit into PAL if you need to. Simply connect a regular Amiga mouse to port 2 and hold both mouse buttons at startup to enter a boot menu. Then simply select PAL or NTSC. Obviously I haven't tried this yet, but I've read this several times including in the Wikipedia article on the CD32.

Hope this info helps.

Thats Weird, the two I purchased came in original Box, like new and were NTSC 110V. No step down transformer needed. I purchased mine from a seller with feedback in the 1000's. Maybe there are others. Also shipping was I think $40.00 and it got to the states in a week.
