7800 Best Component Mod

[metzger130]

I was wondering how many people have bought the mod from Best and how well it works. I am not great with a solder gun so only having to solder a little and not having to drill into the case sounds good to me. I am wondering though how well it works. Also, is it possible with this mod to not make the cables permanent, in other words to put RCA jacks on the case?

 

Thanks

I purchased a 7800 Prosystem from Best Electronics with the Composite Video Mod which I assume is the same part which you can order and install separately. The wires do hang out and end in RCA plugs, which I've tried on a variety of screens. It doesn't look so great on my samsung LCD TV even with color tweaks and gaming mode enabled, maybe a 6/10. It's much better on my old JVC 32" CRT TV from 1999, maybe an 8/10. A similiar Panasonic Gaoo 32" CRT TV from the late 90's is about a 7/10.

 

My suggestion would be to contact Best Electronics and ask them what they can do for you. Maybe have you ship your unit to them to be modified and then returned.

It's hit and miss depending on the tv that you are using, looks great on my 14" Sony trinitron, crap on my non branded 19" lcd and won't work on myy LG 42" plasma,but I am using an ntsc console on a pal tv.

The lhe mod is far better imo

The best mod does not hook up the pokey audio, unless they have fixed that omission
