Just to make it easier, I ask you a shipping quote for Italy for both. I'm also interested in the Xetec Super Graphics Jr. Printer interface. Do you combine shipping?

(Wonder why US $37,00 USPS Priority Mail International Flat Rate is automatically displayed for any item).

Thanks

Shipping is as quoted for a flat rate box. I doubt I can get a flat rate box from the post office though for that size item. I will check. shipping will be $69.00 each to italy and I always combine shipping items if buyer notifies me first. The reason is I always try to get item out on the day or day after if it is a weekend and sometimes I will ship the item before they tell me they want another. I have in my shipping details that I provide combined shipping. I will check on the flat rate box but if not it is like I said $69.00 each to italy. If you buy an additional item like the Xetec I will just put it inside. I will assure you that any additional shipping charges will be refunded to you paypal account after I ship. I am not trying to make money on shipping. thanks

I think Italy uses PAL as video standard.

So, unit from US may not be of much use.

Unless as collector item.

My TV set is universal (i.e., it accepts both PAL and NTSC sources, provided you have the correct DIN to cinch cable). Most recent TVs can handle NTSC.

I think it would work OK if I use a European PSU... wouldn't it?

"Wow" is for my universal TV set?
It's quite common indeed, almost all recent TVs, both CRT and LCD, are PAL and NTSC video-in compatible, except for the cheaper ones (chinese and so on). I have a Philips 28" CRT, flat screen. Excellent colors.

Perhaps this is common in Italy, but I don't think it's so common in North America.

Actually NTSC compatibility is common in all Europe (PAL area), while PAL compatibility is almost unheard of in North America (NTSC area). Most TV sets however are limited to NTSC composite video signals, as opposed to NTSC antenna (RF) signals which are much harder to decode.
