[Help: Great picture... under White Static]

Looks a TON better. I made one HUGE stupid mistake though.

 

The cables casing, around the ends, it's too long. *slams head on desk*

 

That and, it seems that the connection gets better or worse the closer I get to the cable? Like too far and it gets bad, too close and it gets bad?

 

Anyway... will see if i can cut down the cables casing...

Okay, so I've got a cable, but the center "prong" seems to be quite a bit longer than the original Atari cable, and as such it's still producing static... Could I sand down the ends? I saw in a video with a similar issue that this could and should be done...?

Thanks guys, will try that and be back in a sec!

Hey guys! Just cleaned up an old 2600 Vader I got all boxed up for cheap!

 

Works well, with one exception. I'm using an RF to Coax connector straight into my TV(s, i tried it on both a flat and CRT) and I get some decent static.

 

Some games have a fair amount, some are a little crazy. Here's Donkey Kong and Yars Revenge for comparison and diagnosis.

Moving the RCA cable around DOES change the amount of static, and at one point I saw it completely gone!

 

Please tell me this isn't a board issue, if it's the RCA cable I should be able to replace that... I'm a young dude with little experience with soldering and that jazz.

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
