  1. The more I read, the more I think I will use one of my other consoles to do the AV mod so I don't have to mess with my heavy sixers. I have a 2600A and a light sixer. Which one do you think I should do? Is there a graphics quality difference?
  2. Thanks Alex. Starting to think it might make sense to get a separate tele that I can keep tuned to the Atari. I'll look into how to tune to an analog NTSC channel. A visit to Jaycar is in order.
  3. good to hear. I feel sorry for the 83 people that had already bought one though...
  4. Hi guys, new guy having 70's/80's flashbacks. I have recently bought a Heavy Sixer (or 2...) from the US due to the better prices in the US and the huge selection of games available. What I now need to do is get my console running nicely in Australian power conditions as we are PAL over here with 240V. I am not technical at all with electrical stuff so need a bit of a hand with exactly what I need. I have found a few similar requests and threads but was hoping to get my ingredients nailed with minimal $$ outlay! For example, why the big difference in prices between these two products that look like they do the same thing? $124 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brand-New-ATARI-2600-Power-Supply-9V-Adaptor-Plug-Pack-for-Console-Charger-/111496390305 $8.50 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/9V-AU-Plug-Power-Supply-Adapter-Charger-for-ATARI-2600-Console/121962718537?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20140106155344%26meid%3Dbfb799a521ce4efbb89883879472063b%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D111496390305&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Is that all I need to use so I don't fry my console? Now for the NTSC part. If I am just using NTSC carts I should be able to just use a modern flat screen through the AV right? I really don't want to be drilling holes in my console to do the AV mod as shown here: http://www.coolretroprojects.com/Atari_2600_AV_Mod_Installation_Guide.pdf So is there another way that I can set it up to play through the AV? Any redirects to threads that will help me would be much appreciated. Its gonna take days or weeks to sift through the amazing bulk of knowledge on this forum!
