Hello! I have a PAL Amiga 500+ that needs a compatible power supply since I am in the US. If anyone has one they are willing to sell please let me know. Thank you!
 
What do you mean "compatible" and "NTSC"?
The A500 does not use powerline tick signal like the A1000/A2000 so it doesn't care about 50/60 hz input on the PSU. Whether it runs as "PAL" or "NTSC" is entirely dependent on its internals.
All you need is either an original North America A500 PSU (110V/60 Hz) or any equivalent such as the ATX converted ones sold by Amigakit etc, and your A500 will happily run in "PAL" mode.
 
I've used a "Mean Well RT-50B" power supply to replace the internals of a UK 220V power supply, making it a 110V/220V auto-switching unit suitable for use in the U.S.

If you are handy with a soldering iron its a good choice.
 
Yeah I realized I should not have used the word compatible after I posted and should have edited it. I know ntsc will work on a pal system and vise versa. I found a power supply and have a step down converter so all is well now. I appreciate the comments. I will mark this as found.
