livn359 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hi all...new here. Looking for an A/V mod kit. The one I saw was made by yurkie. It was the 3.5 mm TRRS kit. Anyone know if any are still available and if not something similar? Any help would much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Pretty sure you can still shoot Yurkie a PM asking for them? Although I don't use or like the TRRS jack myself and used his board but wired actual RCAs to it instead. Also you can get a similar AV mod board from here: http://www.retrofixes.com/2015/06/colecovision-svideo-or-composite.html There is also one available from Coolretroprojects.com. That is the guy in Turkey, but it does take quite a while to receive them. Last time I ordered some AV boards it took well over a month.

livn359 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I did message him yesterday by no response yet. The retrofix one is sold out. I like the looks of that one...looks fairly simple to install. Was looking at the one on eBay from NY but cant find any instructions on it. Why dont you like the 3.5 mm one?

Osgeld Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Cause there is no standard cable they are always wired differently Edited May 28, 2018 by Osgeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livn359 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 O ok...makes sense. But what about the board from NY seller on eBay? Could I use the installation instructions from the retrofix for that one? Or even the one from the Florida seller? I've been looking for 2-3 days now and don't see anything on those. I did see the one from Turkey but don't really want to wait a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livn359 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Can anyone tell me what gauge wire to use for this mod? 22 or 24 gauge? Solid or stranded? Got my boards and rca connectors and am just itchin to get into this! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 either is fine. I prefer solid for small work because stranded wire can unintentionally have stray strand causing shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I tend to use solid for board to board connections and stranded for board to external connections (like the output jacks on a av mod) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livn359 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thanks for the replies. Got some solid 22 gauge. Think I may tackle it tomorrow sometime. Got the rca plugs installed tonight tho. Been a long day. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
