Hi,
Right this occurred to me. It seems to me it would
make much more sense to modify some passive components
(I would assume) inside the box instead of hacking
some kind of converter together. But maybe you're
right, they'll be NTSC out of the box.

These are presumably composite color PAL units
(Australia). Have any idea what would go into a
PAL-NTSC converter (how many (roughly) and what
type of components)?
I vaguely recall from my Apple ][ days, that at
least the early
(pre-Europlus?) machines were NTSC only. To use them
in Europe we had to fit
an Apple NTSC->PAL converter card into one of the
expansion slots.
It wasn't a perfect conversion, but was "good
enough".
I'm wondering whether the circuit could be modified
to convert PAL->NTSC for
this application. I remember seeing the circuit
diagram in one of the
machines' user manuals, so it's probably online
somewhere.
