68kMLA Supporter David Goodson Posted December 27, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bibilit Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
68kMLA Supporter David Goodson Posted December 27, 2020 Author 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Ah. So it’s the analog board + the PSU? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bibilit Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yes the board does all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
68kMLA Supporter David Goodson Posted December 27, 2020 Author 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Great. Thanks for the info. Might not be worth “converting” one. Easier to sell & replace probably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Will Cheyney Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 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 ☺️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
