Atari 2600 Video Mod
This week I was given an old Atari 2600 but of course there is no composite video or any way of attaching it to a modern TV. So after a digging about I found a few good blogs to help with the modification to change remove the RF module and replace it with a composite video option.
The first blog is good as it shows you how to make the mod board which consists of a transistor and 2 resistors > https://www.instructables.com/id/ATARI-2600-Video-Composite-mod/
However if you want to get all the steps from this site you have to register.. Then I found an instruction manual showing how to fit the modification >

But these instructions do not show how to create the modification board. So you see you need both blogs.
So Now I have a working 2600!
