Can I get 50hz 288p out of my NTSC A1000?

I've heard that it's difficult to get the NTSC A1000s to run in PAL mode, particularly earlier ones. I'm not sure exactly what kind of A1000 I have, but the FCC ID is BR99YB-1000 and the serial number is XM1111304.  Is it at all possible with my version? And if so, how difficult/inconvinient would it be? If it's possible and not too inconvenient, I'd rather mod my existing machine than buy a new one. If it's not worth the effort, I suppose I could grab one of those refurbished A1200s.

Thanks for the responses. I know I'm not a familiar face around here, but I hope to become acquainted over time.

Even if you were to get past the issues with the basic electronics, the Agnus chips of that era are NTSC- or PAL-specific. Any Amiga with at least a 1MB ("Fat") Agnus chip, however, can be switched to/from NTSC/PAL in software.

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have 1MB of memory. I take it I'm screwed, then? Of course, if I can get it to work via software, that's certainly preferable. I just don't want to use weird exploits to get PAL exclusive software running in NTSC mode, I'd rather have the full view window and proper aspect ratio that the games were designed for.

Are you not happy with your NTSC  version?

Eh, kinda. I've always wanted to see how games were at  the higher resolution and lower refresh rate, but since I live in North  America I've never really had the chance. I've got a Sony PVM monitor  that I think is probably capable, and I'd like to be able to play PAL  games as they were meant to be seen without vertical stretching. Of  course, I don't want to lose the ability to use 60hz 240p, but I really  want to be able to use 50hz 288p as well.
