Don't worry I'm not going to! I'd rather make/buy an RF to composite adaptor than modify my sixer.

BTW, are you the same A.J. Franzman on the Neon-Nixie group?
I've often found if people spend less time worrying about what someone the other side of the world has posted on an internet forum and more time getting laid, they'll be a lot less tense.

Yes, that's me - there can't be too many people with the same name.

Cool! Hi dude.

Dunno if you remember (been a few years since I've been on that) I'm the Wayne who had the rather weird ideas like making numitrons out of spaghetti jars and "evacuating them" by chucking a lighted match in them (they did work sometimes). I put a couple of pictures up of the Monty Python Blackmail sketch too. Why do I remember crap like this? :oops:

A friend did mention adding a capacitor but I really didn't have a clue about which bit to connect it to or what size. Will have to see what it looks like on an LCD screen now as CRT TVs are starting to get more difficult to get in the UK.
No problem. I work for a company that produces video test generators, so if there's anything I know, it's video :) It's actually very easy to add on a composite connector, because video and ground are both connected to the connector. Hope it works out for you!

Thanks! There's some fantastic info going around here.

Got FOUR projects on the go at once! Got the Atari portable (using a small CRT screen), Combined NES and Genesis portable, MAME arcade cabinet project and I'm restoring a 1970's VW Bug.

Have to keep busy otherwise I get bored and start thinking - and that's not good!
