LEW2600 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I recently bought a 7800.Screen is a little dark and seems to get a lot of interference,not horrible but I was expecting a better. This is my first 7800 all other Atari consoles I have are 2600 and picture is way better.Sooo is this what I should expect from 7800 or could there be something wrong with it?? Any comments would be appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Have you tried one of your 2600 RF video cables on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Have you tried one of your 2600 RF video cables on it? Yes. Was it better, worse or the same? Can you take a picture of the interference you are seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEW2600 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Console did not come with a rf cable so I used one of the 2600 cables. Maybe I should try av mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can solder you can do a 7800 AV mod yourself. If not, you'll have to send it away to somebody who can do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEW2600 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) There is a local shop I can bring it to. Guess that's what I'll do then and see if that improves picture.I'm just worried there may be something wrong with it.

AA member Longhorn Engineer does an AV mod service. I'm not sure on his pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
