Atari 2600 S-video mod availability?

[Skarro]

Hello all,

 

Hope I posted this to the right place.

 

Is the 2600 S-video mod still available for ordering somewhere? I checked out Longhorn Engineer's website, but I couldn't be sure what the situation was (it says that the mod is "Sold Out", but also seems to indicate that kits can be bought and installed "DIY"). I don't mind doing the soldering/drilling to install a kit into my 2600, but I would prefer a fully assembled PCB kit with all the parts.

 

Ideally I would like 2 kits - one for a 6-switcher woodgrain, and one for a 2600 Jr.

 

Can anyone offer any advice on this?

Thanks muchly!

I ordered a few from here, though they're currently out of the boards.

Thanks for that link, SpiceWare. I'll keep checking back and hopefully they'll get some more in.

I can vouch for LittleJoe's work. He's modded several 2600s for me and does top notch work!

What he means by "DIY" is that he's providing the schematics and everything for you, and that's how you get a mod now that he's not selling it. Many years ago, when he first came out with the mod, he also provided the schematics - and I just built my own from scratch (too lazy to wait for boards in the mail, etc). It's not a complicated circuit, the only annoying thing is that one of the components is only available as a surface mount 8 pin package, so some experience soldering itty bitty stuff is recommended
