Might be a bit of consolation for those who missed out on the NOS NTSC ones from China:

20 of them it looks like!
(PAL units are better than NTSC, too, in my opinion.)
Note: I am not, nor am I affiliated with, the seller.

:lol:

Took me a few reads over that to figure out why it was funny. Unfortunately the only intentional puns I make are bad ones!

These are not NOS though, they are used/refurb. Missing backpanel, no box and scuffed. Used by the Wall Street Institute for language lessons, the floppy drives they also sell (specially made for CD32) were used with these CD32's. Explains the missing backpanels...

Right, and no mention of a controller either. Still, I'd buy one of these before paying $300 or whatever to some Amiga pirate!

Exactly, I just confirmed that with them:
-This CD32 is used and does not come with original box. It also does
not come with any controllers or joysticks.
NOT an option if you missed one of the China NOS and you're looking for something similar.

Thanks!.
I just bought a PAL one. I also have a NOS NTSC one, but it starts to flake out after like 30 minutes of use.
If anyone is interested in a cheap joypad, I would suggest:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.30530
- it works with Minimig anyway...
Does anyone know if the PS for the CD32 PAL is tolerant to 110 voltage with a standard converter?
Dragster, I think may be the guy I sold my Blizzard PPC to way back like 10 years ago :) If so, I hope its still working well!

Can't imagine the CD32 power supply would mind a 110v to 220v step-up converter.
...look at that, 3 sold already! Like flapjacks, only less delicious!

I guess a simple plug converter won't work? I need something with a transformer?
like

Actually, I'm going to try my PS from the NOS CD32 first...
-
The 110v you have should work fine, provided it's working as it should. But yes, for an adapter to use the UK one you'll need to step up to 220V.

FYI.
Analogic Computers:
These guys came back and demanded £65 for a £40 Item, which I reluctantly paid.
I should have emailed them about the shipping prior to bidding I suppose, however I maintain that 150% of the sale price for shipping is very deceptive and unexpected.
Finally, after more then a month, I have not received the Item.
I would suggest looking elsewhere for any amiga related items.

Ouch. Maybe I should stay out of the free advertising business...

Not your fault... We'll see what they do...

Seems Analogic hasn't changed - old topic here... (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12519)

Had the same thing trouble with Analogic...massive overcharge on shipping.
Sent an email asking them to explain why they charged 30UKP when the stamp said UKP11 (ish..was a while back). Never got a reply. My advice...get a firm shipping cost from them before buying anything but, personally, I'll never do business with them again.

Report them to ebay, £24 for delivery is ridiculous and they are obviously using this to cover their paypal/ebay fees.

10-4 on "I'll never do business with them again"
I'm not expecting a refund on my unused shipping, I agreed and did pay it. Fine! I just want what I ordered.
Anyway, this is what they tried to pull today...
analogiccomputers has sent you a request to cancel the transaction for Amiga CD32 Games Console (400119409851).
Reason for request: Buyer's payment hasn't been received or hasn't cleared
So I dined there request and responded with PayPal transaction IDs for both payments.
I also went and raised a dispute on PayPal.
These guys are just playing games now. We'll see what they do next.
At least now I know where the "Anal" part of their name comes from. Thats where they stick the customers.

Too bad about Analogue Computers. Hey, the topic doesn't include the used CD32s at AmigaKit.
