Was it more spam? I’ve reported several in this thread over the past few days.

Hi Blaine, Yes, for sure. I am a member of the HCC (hobby computer club) in the Netherlands and they still have a Commodore user group. I got in contact with them and they had an time-period 230 V transformer for this model. I replaced the transformer and the 8032 works perfect, even on 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz. This is the link to their website. commodore.hcc.nl/Google should be able to do the translation. Greetings! Jeroen van der Windt |

I actually have a fun story about the 8032: Some time later I told my kids about the Wargames movie and they decided to watch it. Later, when I had the 8032 on, they got really inspired by it and programmed a program in Basic that mimicked the Wargames computer dialogue. You had to type in LOGIN and it would ask for a username and password. Once you were logged in, it asked 'would you like to play a game' and it responded exactly like in the actual movie. I don't know if you have seen the movie and remember it, but it is a great movie to get back in that 80-ties computer experience!
