*bump just to notify my price is added. a little lower is allowed.*

Added in first topic.

It was purchased for $700 ($300 for unit and $200 for monitor and computer unit each). I can reduce it some, but shipping is difficult unless within my country.

Capacitors replaced, but PSU still automatically shuts it off after a few minutes. Speaker grill is missing. Sold as seen here. Includes JPN / USA voltage converter and a button cell battery for clock. From the area of Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I'm asking for $700 including shipping, offers...

*bump* I just got a voltage converter and it still wouldn't run long enough. Took it to a local repair shop and they said to purchase a PSU brand new. Repairing it can be dangerous they said.

The Amazon one looks easier to get, but for the APC Line regulator, my parents might not let me take permission to purchase from a website like that.

What seems okay? The Amazon one or the APC one? I'm not sure about the Line-R series. If you own an FM Towns computer, then can you prove that it works?

Sounds overwhelming. And that link isn't working. I kept bumping into this voltage converter. Is it worth it? http://www.amazon.com/VCT-VT-500J-Japanese-Transformer-Converts/dp/B000PC4JL4

*bump* I looked deep into the psu and I don't see any leaks. Maybe using a voltage converter is the solution.

Yes, I imported it from Japan. And there is a slight difference between Japan and U.S. volts.

What place should I take it to for maintenance? Some computer repair shops probably don't accept old computers in the U.S., especially foreign ones.

Greetings, I would like to know what the best voltage converter to power the FM TOWNS II HR in the U.S. while recording straight from the Analog RGB DB-15 port to my PC into MP4 format. I have an ION VCR 2 PC Converter with an external RCA component port, but that wouldn't record the best...

Unfortunately, they wouldn't respond to me anymore for some reason. Anyone else in the U.S. have good experience in using their KryoFlux?

*bump* Are there any other suggestions on how to preserve these 3 floppy disks? Using imaging tools like WinImage (can't open disk) and FTK Imager (don't know what format to save image files to) might not work due to copy protection, but these disks must be saved from being rotted. Should I...

North Carolina? I guess that's my best choice. Send me your address by Private Message and I will send it to you to preserve it. Be sure to send me back the .img files (or whatever works in the FM Towns emulator UNZ) and the game itself.
