bpatte02 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I have a 2600 Jr and a 4 switch VCS, and I was wondering if there would be a reason why the 4 switch has less static on screen than the JR. Is it simply because of shielding? I wanted to know if there is any kind of fix besides a ferrite filter, as I already have one plugged in between my Atari and Coax tv tuner. Cheers!

Keatah Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Probably shielding, different parts layout, higher quality parts. It's common for manufacturers to use the best parts on the first runs of something. And then as time goes on, to start cost-cutting and using cheaper parts when they can get away with it. There's lengthy thread about jailbar interference. And while yours may not have the exact symptoms, the same concepts apply. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/255804-minimizing-jailbarvertical-lines-on-2600/page-11?do=findComment&comment=3648626 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
