Would a composite video/audio mod bypass a failing RF box? If I understand correctly, the RF modulator combines both the video and audio out before generating the RF frequency for the TV? So I thought maybe a composite mod could fix the tint issue. If I'm wrong, please let me know. Then again, the trim pot could also be failing.

Yes, a composite mod would bypass the RF box entirely. I know @the_crayon_king has successfully done RGB mods on the Arcadia, as evidenced by his thread here:

This thread might help for the Arcadia branded titles. Leisure Vision titles are typically more plentiful, in general, due to having sold better up in Canada. Your Arcadia Capture and Ocean Battle carts are really odd - they appear to be long carts with short labels - I've never seen that! I can't speak to the Schmid carts.

Those are tunix brand games from New Zealand.

They released all their games in the long shells only and put the short cart stickers on them.

I'm guessing maybe there was a larger stock of long carts to be used up.....or they got a better deal on just 1 size....they also only had to have 1 size of cart tray then too.

They do look odd though.
