PacManPlus Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hi Guys: Being that I had one 7800 that I had not 'colorized' yet, I went with Purple The odd thing is, it's actually much closer to the color of the vinyl record in 'real life' - the camera seems to have 'washed out' the color a little. :-/ I added the S-Video connector directly to the motherboard, and the audio connector in the case. I only have one more NOS 'Atari 7800' silver strip left... so one more color in the future. I'm thinking 'Gold'? So now I have a Silver, White, and Purple 7800. (BTW - I post these things to give people ideas, and because I think it looks cool) Bob 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Very nice! I've taken pictures of purple flowers and they always come out blue. I think the ultraviolet filter goes too far into the visible. That's where I put my s-video. Soldered and epoxied it. My audio is off to the side. No composite. Does your audio go to left & right mono, or just one side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauber Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Bob -- very cool! Your 7800 actually looks like a SNES. (Ironic that I said "cool" considering I always hated the SNES....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
