An NTSC CD32 comes with a 110v PSU - do not use this in the UK. We stock 240V PSUs for the CD32.

I do have a suitable voltage converter for the NTSC power supply. Will it still not work?

@Liam
you need a Power and Phase inverter, from 220v 50-60HZ to 110v, this will lump out a lot of heat by the way. check the phase (in hertz Hz) on the American PSU. I would recommend getting a new UK 220v from AmigaKit or even eBay if you are lucky, although the latter, you not sure how long its gonna work for and doesn't come with a guarantee where the one from AmigaKit does i believe

Z, my friend, 60 or 50Hz doesn't matter in switched PSUs!
Only step transformers (those without any electronic components, just copper and iron) are affected by frequency. |
