Buying Amigas from the US - for the UK
« on: February 19, 2004, 08:56:03 PM »
Hi all..

I've been looking into getting an a3000, however in the UK they are rather few and far between. Looking on EBay.com shows just how many more there are in the States.

Should I find a nice american chap who's willing to package the Amy up for emigration to Britain, what should I look out for?

Things i've thought of...

a) Power. American Amys have been used to a paltry 120v. What will she think when suddenly I attempt to pump a British 240v through her veins?
b) PAL/NTSC. I know that I can select NTSC/PAL from the early startup on my UK a4k - is this the same on American models? Is this going to be a problem?

And that's it. Oh yes, the keyboard, but I have a few a4000 keyboards with British keymaps here.

Anything else?

Thanks
