Dead Atari 2600 - repair, recap and composite mod
CELEBRATING 1000 SUBSCRIBERS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
In this video I do a repair on an old Atari 2600 games console from around 1981. This is the original 6-switch console. I was dead on arrival. Some cleaning and repairs got life into it. I also do a composite video modification and replace the electrolyte capacitors.
However, the video-output is only black and white, and I suspect it is because it is a NTSC system, while I have PAL cartridges. It might be an issue with the TIA chip also. If anyone knows, please comment below.
I used the following recipy for the composite mod:
