Hello!
I wanted to ask if there are any dedicated sellers for a line voltage inducer other than dreamcastlive shop?
I have a hand tremor and can't hold a soldering iron steady so the diy solutions are unfortunately out of my reach.
The live shop seems to only sell PAL compatible line voltage inducers and I don't understand the "Out of stock but still available with modem trade-in" caveat on their out of stock built-in line inducer modems compatible with NTSC Dreamcast (I'm sorry for being ignorant!)
Thank you for reading this and I'm sorry in advance for not being very well versed in this stuff.

You can send your modem in and they will add the line voltage inducer in it.
Also, if you build your own you don’t need to solder. I bought some telephone jacks that have screw down posts, you can twist your wiring and tape it for a quick build.

Re: Hello! Line voltage inducer questions!
Thanks for the reply! Oh so sending it in can be an option? I guess I should email them to ask what type of modem they need for that.
All the tutorials I've seen so far had involved soldering but I'm glad you found something that works without it! I'm afraid I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what you mean though.

Where are you located? I have a spare modem but I’m in the Czech Republic, so it would probably be cheaper for you to find one online.

Dell / Lenovo RD04-D400, TRENDnet TFM-561U, or Zoom 3095.
The most common one to find is the Dell / Lenovo model. Dell's website sadly doesn't sell them anymore, so ebay seems to be the best bet.
The Zoom Modem can be found on Amazon still.
I'd say get in touch with PCWizard at DreamcastLIVE shop. Maybe you can order the modem and ship it directly to him.
