Strengthening NOAC Composite signal

Post by Dave »

Can anyone recommend a certain uf capacitor to strengthen a Super Joy 3's video signal and lessen the vertical lines? I've experimented with 220 uf but it seemed to make no difference :? .

You'd need to build an amplifier with a transistor. Isn't there something like this in the book?

Yeah in the book you build a video amp. I dont know if that would work on a NOAC, I do know however that it will require you make a larger case for it.

one transistor would not take up that much more space that is all you need

and maybe potentiometer if you want to controll its level of output or a resistor in place of the potentiometer if you want it locked into one lesser state

although im not so sure the lines are because of a weak signel
Im done here

Has anyone used the amp in the book to fix a rev. 2 NES or NOAC :?:

I have. Actually, it wasn't quite as strong as I wanted, so I wired two of them up. Now I get a pretty good signal from the NOAC. :)

So did that get rid of the lines when you play?

Well, there aren't any lines now. But I can't remember if this particular NOAC had lines in the picture in the first place or not. :oops:

They strengthened it through a video amp from Ben's book.
