Atari 2600 composite mod

[Atari 2600 composite mod]

Thank you very much for your replies.

I'll mod light sixer then. I will not remove any components, leaving coaxial cable where it belongs. But cleaning heavy sixer inside out will not hurt I think.

 

Or... after thinking about it a little bit, I'll replace coaxial cable with another panel mount connector to avoid the cable mess. (:

[Atari 2600 composite mod]

Recently I've picked up a light sixer on an estate sale and started thinking about adding a composite output to make it a little bit more pleasant to play. Not long after that my wife found another 2600 on a yard sale - this time it was a heavy sixer. Both consoles work fine although the image quality leaves a lot to be desired.

So now I have few questions:

1. Which of these consoles should I mod and which I should leave untouched?

2. Is it possible to route the composite output without cutting off some/any components?

3. As for the mod itself, which is preferred: drilling holes in case and putting in some rca connectors or just replacing original coaxial cable with composite one?

 

Thank you.
