Resistance values are never dead on, after all, resistors typically have a tolerance of 5%; so if you are aiming for 370, you are doing good if you hit between 351 and 389 (5% either direction). Typically, though, you'll do much better than 5%.

As for testing a transistor, there's some good ...

I must've fried something on the board itself, not the mod. Cause I bought a 'new' atari on ebay, rewired the mod to it, and all is working now....

Greetings,

So, I tossed the chroma wire to the base of the transistor, as directed in the last comment, but that didn't fix the issue.

Also, I did try hooking that wire back up to the R210 spot, and that didn't help...

So, when trying to put everything back into the atari case, I decided to follow the recommendation of doing what you can to ...

Yep, that mod works on my Mitsubishi WS-55511. Now to remove the traces between the RF unit and the rest of the board... I think that unsoldering it in a few places is likely the easiest and safest method.

Composite video works on one TV, but not another

audio and video work great on my cheap TV/VCR combo unit, but I cannot get it to display on my big screen TV. I have played with the POTs on the mod, and it still won't work ...
