Notes
I'm not sure if it was just a problem with my unit, but this had one of the worst composite dot artifacting I've ever seen on a CRT. There is a pot for "COMB AMP" on the board that might help, but I could not safely access it. I've read this model can be modded for S-video, which would help it a lot.
