Re: 2600 Composite mod
Its been over a year since this project was started. I'm going to try and get this project finished in the near future. I've found a few of the bits yesterday.. Still need to find the PCBs.. So might have to order some again. I really want to get my 2600 back together and have some fun with it :)

Re: 2600 Composite mod
Funnily enough, I still have this project on the books, I'd better dig it out and get on with it myself.

I've built these using veroboard, they work well enough, but time to get on with the exxos one :)zack4mac wrote: 17 Apr 2019 09:17 I have just bought set of boards for composite mod but look nothing like this,

Re: 2600 Composite mod
So many projects and so little time :( I want to close up all these unfinished projects so I can just concentrate on the remake motherboard.rubber_jonnie wrote: 17 Apr 2019 09:06 Funnily enough, I still have this project on the books, I'd better dig it out and get on with it myself.

Re: 2600 Composite mod
Found the PCB with parts listed..
There are a couple resistors I am not sure about at the bottom.. more of a "suck it and see" type thing. So some experimentation needed no doubt.

Re: 2600 Composite mod
I've got a couple of 2600s lined up for when you've finished :D
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: 2600 Composite mod
I have hunted high and low, and I cannot find these PCBs :( , so I will have to order them again, which means another month wait :roll:

Re: 2600 Composite mod
You need a various pcb box. Icky probably has a label you could use once you've got one.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
