Best version of 2600 console?

[Chuck D. Head]

Hi! I currently have a working 2600 jr, but want to have an A/V modded 2600 for daily use; the video is OK using an RF/RCA adapter in place of an A?V switch, but the audio hiss really annoys me. I don't know which console version would be the best to modify or purchase already modded. Is there a comparison of all the console versions with pros and cons? I have been looking but havent really found what I am looking for.

The french 7800 (pal) has two models. The one with scart/péritel gives RGB output and easy plug. So it has the best and easiest video-out. Nothing to mod. It's easy to find (eBay France can have some; just look for the good model, not the RF one).

But it's *pal* (not ntsc).

Hmmmm...yeah, I kinda think NTSC will be a must, but you bring up something I had not considered, which is using a 7800 as my everyday 2600 machine. Let's throw that in the mix for everyones thoughts as well. I would kinda like to actually try out my supercharger, though and it seems like I head it would not work on a 7800. Thanks, Morgan

Not neccessarily. My 7800 and supercharger work together.

Isn't it just a physical (slot) issue?
