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.

A step up transfer is just that a simple transformer with 2:1 winding. it shouldn't really introduce anything bad unless its a poor quality one.it wont affect the life of equipment... perhaps you are thinking of something like a modified inverter?(many ups's are not true sinewave output).
Honestly i would just find a A500 american psu. they are not hard to get and the A500 psu is rated 4.5 amps on 5v,which is more than the 1200 version.
You can swap out the keyboards on the 1200 with an american one..i dont care for the chicken mcnugget return keys on non-us keyboards lol.
the pal model is best for games.
there is no NTSC/PAL psu. they are just psu's with different inputs. any american psu in american can be used on any amiga pal or ntsc. all the amiga cares about is the +5,+12,-12 coming out. all you need be concerned about is 110v psu is on 110v and 220v on 220v.
