mikesk8 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hi, I have just assembled back my Atari 130XE and noticed there is another screw (I don't remember I used it to open) on the right site of label (see picture; not mine, borrowed from net). The screw there is turning in circles (cannot tight it). Do you know what is it? I don't want to disassemble it again to check Thanks!

flashjazzcat Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 It's not a screw. It's the colour adjustment pot for the video output. Best adjust it again until the picture looks good and leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have connected the machine. When I start to turn it the screen got first black, but later (still turning) got ok color I think. It looks +/- like my favourite Atari 800 Thanks for help. ps. I have noticed my machine had select/option button changed... I guess will open it again and change them to the correct places 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
