+grafixbmp Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) I set out to take my light sixer and get rid of a horrible RF signal. SO I looked up the easiest I could pull off on my budget and went with the latest from Ben at http://benheck.com/book/support/Atari2600VidMod.htm Unfortunately his tutorial is missing where 5+ v came from and doesn't cover a six switch unit so I was able to fill in the gaps with "the atari 2600 video mods comparison project" site. So I constructed the circuit and checked the components over half a dozen times so I know the're right. I also checked for bridged contacts as well. I removed the resistors for TIA pin 2 5 7 and 8 and I also removed the one at the audio point. I now have wires for: 5v + gnd pin 2 pin 5 pin 7 pin 8 audio As of now I have no picture on either a CRT or LCD. Audio sounds fine on the CRT but is horribly muffled on the LCD. On this should I remove/ cut any other items on the main board for the sound to come through clear? Any help please. And to think I went to school for this stuff years ago. ps I've rewired the circuit a second time with fresh wire and replaced the original 2n4401 with a spare thinking I may have blown the first one. Still no luck. Edited May 25, 2011 by grafixbmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseboy Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I can hook you up with a good s-video mod. Drop me a PM. I set out to take my light sixer and get rid of a horrible RF signal.

Still no luck. Thanks but I'm not interested in an s-video mod. I would prefer composite. and I don't need another mod since I built my own. I am only asking if any other components need to be removed from the main board besides what I've already done? Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
