Any Alternative for ev-680 audio/video jack?

Thanks Dave,

I really appreciate it. I just accidentally burned myself with the soldering iron, so I'm taking the rest of the night off. Also I'm headed over to radio shack tomorrow because I've become a bit frustrated with floppy drive cable (even though it's really great, really cheap). Are there any particular specification of cable I should use? Thanks again. (If you can still find that picture, that would be great because I plan on trying again tomorrow.

Have you completed the video mod for th Atari? Or do you still need the potentiometers?

I have completed the video mod. Why?

Just Checking because you need to do that before you can output it to your screen. I'll get that pic now.

Here you go

The Q lead is audio out and Z is ground

There is video out clearly marked. Hope all goes well

Dave,

I made my 1st attempt at this modification. Now I'm really wishing I was just a bit more carefull with my original desolder. Well here are the pictures of what I did, do you think there is any chance? Thanks.

in the 1st pic the solder near the bottom right corner of the atari and the lower one on the TV look like you may have bridged the connections

Is that good or bad?

that is bad that means there is a short cicuit

Ok, I guess I will have to de-solder & try again. Thansk guys.

Sorry to bring back such an old thread but I thought it would be better to continue this thread than start a new one. I have the same problem as jeffslot. I also broke the jack. I am building the cnc portable nes in Ben's book but now that I have broken the jack how can I make this work. Thanks in advance!

Anybody?

It's actually frowned upon to bump old threads here. Your efforts would be better served by making a new thread tailored to your needs, or perhaps PMing Jeffslot about the project.

Did you read page 1?
