ahuffman Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I am looking at getting a 5200 pretty soon, and am wondering if anyone here does video mods for it? I am horrible at soldering, so doing it myself would not be a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Dart Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Another option is to improve your soldering skills. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectormatt Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Has anyone done some sort of cad drawing (ExpressPCB for example) for the Atari 5200 Mod that they'd be willing to share? I wouldn't mind making a small run of PCB's to have something clean and professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venom4728a Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Longhorn Engineering's website has been posting that he is working on a new 5200 video upgrade for some time now, I have been waiting quite awhile for that mod to come available, but If someone here can make one now I would be on board to purchase one or two.

vectormatt Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Well, I'm not really an expert at this, but I quickly created an ExpressPCB drawing of this mod. I need to review it. The cost of producing 20 of these would be $300 or $15 per board and would go down if there was more interest. Rather than be hasty, I can do a test proto board first while waiting to see if other members suddenly pop-up over the next week or so saying "Oh so-n-so is already doing that." My goal is to have a couple of my 5200's modernized before Christmas. Especially since I just ordered the new Atari Max SD cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venom4728a Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I am onboard for at least 2, will they have component and composite? stereo rca? Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoquickcapri Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm interested, but Im really wanting s-video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Can't you just take chroma & luma right off the motherboard for s-video? I know you have to amplify one of those signals, but I don't see why/how an entire mod PCB would be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
