bradhig1 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I just got a Coleco Telstar Colortron today and it has the same problem two other pong consoles have. The picture is shaky. I can play the game. The Colortron doesn't have a knob near or on the RF box in the console to adjust the picture. I adjusted my Tele Games Hockey Tennis III and it shows the correct colors yet the picture is still shaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Your TV probably doesn't like your consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Could running them through a VCR help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_crayon_king Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 VCR Might help. Changing the capacitors and/or power reg is probably your best bet. Do you have another AC ? That can also be an issue. The true solution would be probably modding for A/V or S-Video using something like the FMS6400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Do you have a CRT you can try them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Cade Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Agree likely video is out of spec for what LCD expects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) I hooked up a VCR and it helps with the Coleco Colortron and the Sears Telegmes Hockey Tennis II yet the magnavox odyssey 100 was refurbished by the seller and on the vcr through A//V cables the signal for it goes in and out while just hooked up to the TV the picture is shaky. Might try running the VCR through Coaxial connection tomorrow. Edited May 19, 2017 by bradhig1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
