On another note, I know you can fit a composite out on to a 2600... Ive already broke one Atari trying to do that...

Is there a coax - composite connector that you can just plug the leads into.

If I plug the coax from my Atari direct into my HDTV it just has a spaz attach and try's to tone into digital TV.

Also if there is an 'inline' adapter I could hook it up to my EasyCap on my PC easily....

Is this a pipe dream or am I just thick and it does exist and everyone already has one??

Following this thread with interest because I too have recently started collecting Atari sh*te stuff, and also will probably be playing my console on a HDTV.

eBay has actually been the source of quite a few bargains, I'll probably be starting a 'VCS carts for trade' thread soon as I've quite a few 'doubles' already.

I would really recommend just getting a 15/17" portable CRT tv. These machines were never designed to run on LCD or large screens so some of the magic (and I use that term loosely) is lost. I've got a nice Hitachi which it tunes into a treat, giving me the picture as it was originally intended (warts and all)

Top man, can't fault your taste in amps! Which model AC30 is it? I used to have an 80's valve model with tremolo, wouldn't distort for love nor money so I sold it. I'm looking for another earlier one now.

I do prefer playing on old TV's, especially on games like Berzerk.

I find playing 'stretched' games very annoying.....

My main reason for trying to find an adapter of some sort is so I can hook up a direct signal to my PC for recording.

I have aspirations of World Records
