hexcor Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Got a Lynx 2 locally with Checkered Flag for $20. Did a recap and used the Console 5 voltage regulator refresh kit (and pulled a pad for one of the transistors UGH http://atariage.com/forums/topic/285449-lifted-pad/). It's such an improvement over the close to 30 year old system! Now... about that flash cart! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Laser Lynx Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Looks great! Wow 20$ that's insanely cheap compared to ebay! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Awesome! Did you install the VGA adapter port too? When I did the McWill install originally I didn't bother with VGA but now have been regretting not doing it so planning to take my Lynx apart again and fit the VGA port.

Ninjabba Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Got mine installed at ejagfest this year, best purchase of the year for me. Feels like playing on a brand new console! Edited December 18, 2018 by Ninjabba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did the McWill install originally I didn't bother with VGA but now have been regretting not doing it so planning to take my Lynx apart again and fit the VGA port. I wonder if a similar technique could be used to create VGA ports for other consoles of the time like the Sega Master System. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a damned good deal, guy said it was his cousin's and had no use for it. he also had a 32X and was willing to sell it for under $50... I should have bought it, but I have too many toys!

No, I skipped that part, might go back and put it in later. I am not too happy with my wiring so i'll need to open it up again and fix that, perhaps I'll do the VGA adaptor when I do that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akira666 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 looks really great!I also have an LCD display and an Atari Lynx 2 lying around. Only time is missing.How long did you need for the installation?I did not want to obstruct the VGA adapter. I think that just makes the case ugly.
