Getting a jag ( again )

[saboteur]

Well, a few moons ago i reduced my collection and cleared out all my Jag Stuff ( consoles, CD and games ) and got a good price at the time.

 

Anyhoo, with the advent of JagStudio and coming across a skunkboard i found tucked away in a box of Sinclair Spectrum stuff I thought i might get me another jag ( plus i got an urge for tempest and wolfenstein tbh )

 

However i've noticed a few on the bay that are modded for 50/60hz ( some of which are fixed at 60hz ) is there a reason to avoid these ? other than speed is there any downside to having a unit fixed at 60hz here in the uk ?

 

Also, I really dont remember buying this skunkboard, I think it's a Tursi original, but i've never used it and again would there be any issue using it with a 60hz fixed jag ? and how can i tell which version i have ?

 

As always, your expertise is appreciated.

 

cheers

There is nothing wrong with having a 60hz PAL Jag but to be honest a switchable one is much better. Why pay a premium price on a modded one where all they've done is remove a capacitor.
