Hi,

great modification with really promising results.

I would like to get hold of one Kit, including a 1meter cable, ready to connect to my Commodore 1702 CRT.


Please can you contact me via PM, to inform me about leadtime and payment details.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Sven.

I need to get the chroma / luma cable 1st. Then I'll build and post to you next week. I PM you the PayPal details, but you already do know them.
 
Received my kit yesterday but there were no instructions on how to install.

I assumed the pictures were sufficient. I now added a text to post 1.

Remove vic-I chip from socket
insert mod into socket
Insert vic-I chip into mod

Done

Feedback exchanged. Sadly @botialoach has discovered his VIC-I is soldered onto his mainboard and not socketed (which is a prerequisite for the plug'n'play part)

@botialoach ideally you need to have your 6561-101 desoldered from the board and have a socket inserted. If you can't do this yourself and you don't know anyone that can help you, then there is 1 alternative. This is no longer plug and play, but it reversible and the chances of damaging your 6561-101 are less. With sharp needle nose pliers snip the FB7 (or desolder and keep safe). Now snip the RED wire on the mod, and solder this directly onto the leg of the snipped ferrite bead next to PIN2 of the 65101 (or the hole if you desoldered).

You do this all at your own risk.
