Title: Coleco Vision Composite connection
Post by: sirhcman on November 21, 2012, 07:20:51 AM

Looking to see if anyone here has done this mod and is willing to work on a system for me? Wanting to get composite video/audio out for my Colecovision

I did the simple "ben heck" composite mod on my Colecovision.

Tbh, im only partially satisfied with it. The color/brightness balance seems a bit off.
You adjust the strength of signal with a pot but it seems its never perfect.
Too much signal and the image looks washed out, too little and it gets noisy/dark.

There is no perfect middle ground, always some compromise it seems.
Its either dark image + noise or my reds look orange.
Might be that my transistor is not perfect for the job. Im curious what others will say about it.

I've done a composite mod on my CV though I recently switched to component and ditched the composite mod entirely. I also used the Ben Heck mod and it looked pretty good I thought, though I've seen some people add their own twist to it.

I can definitely give it a shot for you, PM me and we'll work something out.
