Fourth one - 4th one

A few pictures...
The first prototype from a few years ago. No cartridge slot. One joystick port. DRAM tower (video memory) sort of installed. Was converted to an SG-1000 (but without joystick support):
The second prototype from a year or two ago, showing the SRAM daughterboard (video memory) this time. Later I added 24K RAM to test Zaxxon and Dragon's Lair before I had an SGM. Don't ask why the cartridge slot is installed on the bottom
:The third prototype PCB, unassembled, which should have full ColecoVision compatibility (excluding RF output), but with some extras (5V input, component/YPbPr output, composite output, Sega controller capability, keypad capability). It's still a prototype, so I anticipate a number of changes before the next version (which will hopefully be the beta version):

Hi,
Would you be selling this still (un-cased or cased)? I'm considering getting a Vectrex shortly and would probably be interested.
Thx

I'm late as always... Would you put me down for the Component mod as well if there's still room on the reserve list. Thanks!

For all those who are interested:
The YURKIE ColecoVision
My Yurkie fully modified ColecoVision arrived in beautiful condition, fully cleaned, black and shiny.
The obvious change in the system that immediately drew my eyes are the modified ball knob controllers - they fit perfectly in my hands (and between my fingers) and have a very durable, high quality feel to them. Game control with the new ball knobs has greatly improved and the straightened cords now allow for full range of movement without pulling on the console.
The modifications to the console itself are less obvious, which is in my own opinion - EXCELLENT. The pause button switch and video out port in the back could be construed as an original design, something that Coleco could have manufactured as part of the console back in the day. To me, it's minimalist approach that is both simple and elegant. The video output is outstanding - clean and vibrant - it works extremely well and the sound is clear.
For me, the nostalgic value of the ColecoVision is very high - made even higher (and better) by Yurkie's selective parts and professional work.
So is the Yurkie modified ColecoVision worth it? -- A very resounding YES!
Will I be buying another Yurkie ColecoVision soon? -- ABSOLUTELY!!!

Hi Batari - somewhat off topic (I apologize) - was hoping to buy the Harmony cart via Paypal but only Google Wallet available via the website. May I humbly ask is there any way around this so I can use Paypal? Thanks in advance for info.
