Do you mean that a Black-Belt you bought in the States works just fine in PAL, or do they actually have 2 different versions of the product ? I believe they are two different versions of the Black-Belt, and in this case they don't have a very responsible attitude. If you sell a PAL unit, then you know that the power supply will have to be 220V-50Hz. PAL is linked to the 50Hz ! So they should really provide you with a power suply. I'm sure the company they buy their suplys from are able to produce a 220v-50Hz model. As for the postings, I believe nobody from the company has a direct access to the news, but somebody is doing the link and relay between them and c.s.a.
