Re: 2600 Composite mod
:dualthumbup: Will send a pcb this week, will do a parts list for you as well soon.. There are a couple resistors of slightly "unknown" values due to untested changes.. So you may need a couple of presents to fine adjust them..

Re: 2600 Composite mod
A quick question.....
I've just got a 2600, no idea if it works, not the woody kind and plugged it in yesterday. I couldn't get it to tune into my LCD TV, I take it this is why you guys have gone to Composite mods?

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: 2600 Composite mod
My LCD works OK with RF. Just going with composite for better image quality more than anything.

Re: 2600 Composite mod
How did you get on with the composite mod? My 2600 jr doesn't like my LCD tv at all.

Re: 2600 Composite mod
Hey Chris, I'm trying to push myself back towards getting some Atari projects done, and this is one of them.
I've managed to source a couple of the MAX7453 chips and the other discrete components, but the FMS6146-D is something else, and I can't find it at any of my usual sources, can you advise on a supplier please?
