Getting in line for one whenever available (800xl). Thankses!

I see SVID modded 2600JR's around, but I don't see the kits. Some 2600 kits presumably work with the JR but I don't see the instructions. What S-Video kits are 2600JR compatible and documented for installing into the JR?

Ah, sorry Mef, hehe.

Thanks guys. I had no idea this was normal. Well, maybe my problem is *somewhat* normal. I removed the 75 ohm resistors, and toned down the color saturation (making this adjustment on the 1702 produces better results than with the mod trimpots). It's not nearly as good as the photos Star Raider has shown, but it is improved. Yes, it goes away entirely when unplugging the chroma cable. But. There is something endearing about this artifact and now that I have more information I guess I'm ok with it. One reason I'm still playing with these old devices is because I appreciate the crude imperfections.

I tried a couple of other things: different cable: no difference different gaming console: no difference different monitor (Sharp LC20B6U-S LCD display): no difference. wait, what? I'm seeing this shadow with entirely different devices, even an LCD monitor. Is this just a normal artifact of analog video signals? Do I need some special type of cable? It's true I can get it to go away with some games, certain color combinations and shapes. But generally, mostly, the ghosting effect is always there. I have no idea what is going on at this point!

Hi, first post! Ok I recently completed a 2600 s-video mod using electronic the electronic sentimentalities mod kit. All went smoothly. However, there one thing that seems slightly off. The bottom image shows the problem. There is a slight shadow on everything. This is on a Commodore 1702 with chroma and luma from the modded 2600. Composite does the same thing, although it is worse. I used shielded RCA cable for the 3 video signals. There are 75 ohm resistors between ground and composite and luma out and ground. Is there a way to get rid of this shadow effect? It's not a huge deal but I was expecting a sharper image. Edit: Actually, I'm seeing this with other devices plugged into the 1702 as well. So it's the monitor! I'm still clueless as to how I might fix it but looking into it. If you have any hints... It appears this guy had the exact same problem but no solution was posted. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/170884-commodore-1702-ghosting/
