European model differences

[David Goodson]

Could someone confirm that all you need to do to convert a 128K, 512K or Plus from US to European current is to recap the analog board with “intl caps” like Console5 sells and get a European PSU? Is that sufficient or are there more parts to swap out?

Not at all. 

A 110 volts Analog board won’t work in Europe, whatever the capacitors you will buy for it. 

Only the International board (with that label) will work. 

 

[David Goodson]

Ah. So it’s the analog board + the PSU?

 

[bibilit]

Yes the board does all

 

[David Goodson]

Great. Thanks for the info. Might not be worth “converting” one. Easier to sell & replace probably.

Yes, unfortunately the US and International analog boards for a 128, 512 or Plus just aren’t convertible. You could always buy a replacement analog board for the region you’re after though and swap it out. Depends how attached to the machine you are
