easy composite mod Videopac/ Odyssey 2

[Senneman]

There are a couple of different ways to connect Videopac G7000 to a monitor. But the easiest way (I think) is just installing an AV mod. As far as I know this is the simplest solution and also easily reversible. I used an Atari 2600 mod kit with a mini jack connection. This one: https://www.thefuturewas8bit.com/shop/atari/deluxe-atari-composite-video-mod.html
There are no pictures of the installment, olny the final result. But it's very simple and goes like this:
- Unscrew the RF module with a screwdriver and remove the 4 wires by cutting or soldering them out. 
- Assemble the correct color wires together
black -> white (audio)
brown -> red (5v)
orange -> black (ground)
red -> yellow (video)

 
- make sure the mod kit is firmly attached and is equal to the RF cable hole. I taped a few screw washers together and laid them over the plastic so there is a surface for the mod kit to stick to. And added extra reinforcement with a plastic strap.

 
- I had to manipulate the chassis a little. Be careful because the plastic is thinner as you might expect (the advantage is that it is easy to cut)

    
- Put everything back together... enjoy!

 

 

I really liked the end result. The video quality is pretty good (couldn't captured it well on photo 🙃) and the installation is clean, ALMOST no cut 😏.
