European model differences

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.

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

Posted by: bibilit on 2020-12-27 07:42:26
Yes the board does all

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 ☺️
