mjarnold7 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Being an electronics idiot.......this fell off my console the other day. Easy repair? Suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMBerzerk Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Its essentially the main output from the video unit. I might be going for the bigger picture, but might be easier/better to replace the whole RF unit than to try to solder/repair the one you have. They are still available to buy new and not too bad to replace off the main board JR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I think intvnut even has the part available for purchase. Heck, if I weren't so disorganized, I think I have a couple extra ones somewhere. They're only a few dollars and not too hard to install. EDIT: These may be getting harder to find now. Alltronics doesn't seem to have them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks for the link. I can't solder for sh!t, but I have a console or two that do the Astrosmash flicker thing. Good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjarnold7 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 So, better to replace the whole part rather than resoldering that small piece back on? Anyone have a link to where I can still purchase it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Replacing the rf modulator requires soldering work. I'd see if it can be opened and repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
