The 'Daily Driver'

This is the 7800 that resides in the game room ready to be brought out and played. And it does get played a LOT! It has several upgrades in place of which some are just preventive measures while some are strictly cosmetic and some for quality of life improvements. The following upgrades or modification have been made on this console:

- UV Power LED

- Kiloparsec BIOS installed

- Alps low profile panel buttons installed

- Heatsinks thermal epoxied to each of the 4 large ICs

- Traco 2-2450 DC-DC regulator installed to replace the original linear 7805

- A Byran sold UAV rD installed for composite and s-video output

- Hand soldered perfboard made Chroma fix circuit to help balance the 7800 game colors through the UAV

 

It has gotten nearly as much play time over the past few years as my original childhood 7800. It is quite the console and still looks really good cosmetically as it still has the protective strip over the metal face plate on the top shell.
