English A1200 PSU handle 110v US?
« on: January 11, 2013, 12:37:46 PM »
The plug will be different, but do American and English / Euro A1200s have the same PSU - can take either 110 or 220? If so, is there a simple wall plug adapter avail to switch form factor from UK to American?

Tnx.

Ok - thanks.

Step-up converters are noisy on the signal right? I always had a notion that they lead to early equipment death.

I want to grab a clean Amiga 1200. I am in the US (NTSC), but I'd love a unit that's PAL by default. Makes way more sense for how I use the machine -- I'm always in Degrader on my NTSC Amigas, here (or altering settings in WHDLoad icons).

Is it possible to get an A1200 that's PAL default and with the American style keyboard ($ rather than pound), etc? Thanks.

How easy is it to find a NTSC PSU for the A1200? I see only one on eBay, with a BIN of $250 or so.

Do any of the vendors sell them? Thanks.
