Sending an A3000D to Europe

[Amiduffer]

LitchKing has asked to buy my A3000, I'm in the USA and he's in Austria.

Since I've never sent equipment to Europe, I just want to be certain.

I think I've seen a NTSC/PAL jumper when I've had the computer open. 3000's have those, or is that the 4000, I'm not certain.

The PSU has a switch to change to European standard, right?

There is no external switch on the Psu on mine that I can see...

He may have to get a transformer or change the psu...

PS would have to be converted to European 220.  For someone with electronics knowledge this should not be hard.
Or they can buy a p/s locally and put it into your cassis.
Be sure to ship via DHL/UPS with insurance and good packaging.  
USPS, I don't think you get high insurance and tracking #.

terminator4 has a very good point, USPS might say that they can insure an overseas package for a given amount, and then it turns out that only 3/4 of the value is actually covered...if you're lucky... Best bet is to really research insurance, liabilities, etc. Before sending...
 In my case, I was sending an auction item to France. The sale price was about $950.00. I asked for insurance at the post office for that amount, the clerk said, 'doesn't matter, they will only cover $650.00 ?!!?
UPS may be the way to go.... And, as always, YMMV...

Good info! He might change his mind at this point.

Hi, I'm the guy who is interested in the A3000D :-)

Yes I know that the US PSU need 110 V, maybe I will a) buy a Voltage converter b) get a european PSU c) or modify a ATX PSU

Maybe I'm a bit crazy because I don't change my mind.
But in the German Amiga Communities it is hard to find an A3000 for sale and when you see the prices you think that the earth is included  :-o :crazy:


But it isn't necessary to hurry up with the deal, I have enough time.

I got a european PSU. It's still in an A3000 chassi, all is there but the mb.

[trekiej]

Does anyone have another A3000D for sale in the U.S?

PSU CAN be switched!
Its really very easy, just removing one wire (marked) inside  8-)

[LichkingXL]

Cool :-).
If Amiduffer sells his A3000D to me, I must be carefuel not to desolder the wrong wire ^__^
