@ScreamingAtTheRadio Nice project! I picked up a 130XE a while back that needed a little retro-brighting, as well as a replacement keyboard. But I never liked the feel of the keyboard compared to modern mechanicals or even my stock 800, and was delighted to find this. I am comfortable with most areas of the build, but I've never ordered a custom PCB before. Any suggestions for manufacturers and what file(s) specifically I would need to send to them (they seem to ask for Gerber or .pcb files, but there is a lot more in the repo. and I'm not sure what is what)? Or even better, are there any spares still available for the latest revision for circular keycaps, leftover from a bulk order? Another question: it sounds like the steel plate template does not apply for circular keycaps yet, but an aluminum PCB could be substituted to serve the same purpose. Did I understand that correctly? Thanks in advance.

I found an another screen with an S-Video input. I didn't see the "ghosting" issue as much, but the discoloration was the same. My SNES seems to produce proper colors via S-Video. I'm not sure. How can I find out? I'll see if adjusting that potentiometer helps. If so, I'll post before and after pictures. Thanks!

Hello, I'm looking to solve an issue I am having with my Atari 800. I bought an S-Video cable years ago off of eBay. It produces crisp video on my Atari 800, but the colors seem off. Additionally, bright colors seem to produce a ghosting effect. Please see my attached screenshot of River Raid. I'll also include a screenshot of Basic to show how characters look (A, M, N, and W in particular). Any thoughts on what the problem is? With an RCA cable, I don't get the ghosting effect, but the colors still seem off. I have an 800XL and the colors look fine with this cable. It's been years since I've used these systems, and I never looked closely at the video output until now. EDIT: In Basic, lowering the luminance of the text seems to help with the ghosting issue. Is there any way I can fix this at a hardware level? Thanks in advance!
