ApolloBoy Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'm thinking of adding AV jacks and an S-video jack to my C64 so I don't have have to use RF or buy an expensive monitor cable. Now my question is, is it possible to tap the composite and chroma/luma signals from the monitor port? My VIC-20 was modded with composite in the same way, so I was wondering if it could be done with the C64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanallan Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 What's expensive about the monitor cable? The same cable is for the Atari 800XL, TI 99-4/A, and a few others that I can't think of. They're plentiful and ~$5 on eScrew. I'm not against modding at all, just trying to get you a deal. The cables are out there, not expensive.

Well most of the ones I've seen on eBay (mainly ones with chroma and luma outputs) are around $10-20 and I'd much rather mod my C64 to take advantage of standard cables that I already have.
