Purple Game... Purple Game

[PacManPlus]

Hi Guys:

 

Being that I had one 7800 that I had not 'colorized' yet, I went with Purple

 

The odd thing is, it's actually much closer to the color of the vinyl record in 'real life' - the camera seems to have 'washed out' the color a little. :-/

I added the S-Video connector directly to the motherboard, and the audio connector in the case.

 

I only have one more NOS 'Atari 7800' silver strip left... so one more color in the future. I'm thinking 'Gold'?

 

So now I have a Silver, White, and Purple 7800.

 

(BTW - I post these things to give people ideas, and because I think it looks cool)

Very nice! I've taken pictures of purple flowers and they always come out blue. I think the ultraviolet filter goes too far into the visible.

That's where I put my s-video. Soldered and epoxied it. My audio is off to the side. No composite. Does your audio go to left & right mono, or just one side?

what kind of paint did you use bob ?

[PacManPlus]

Thanks!

 

@iesposta - Left and Right mono

 

@AtariBrian - I used Krylon Fusion - Plastic Paint

Very... lavender. Which is how it looks to me in those shots heh...

Bob -- very cool! Your 7800 actually looks like a SNES. (Ironic that I said "cool" considering I always hated the SNES....)

Pretty sweet that you have the Prince Purple Rain LP in the picture.
