Product: Commodore PET disk drive device ID switcher 8 sold

Perfect way to change disk drive device number

This is the perfect way to easily change your PET drives device number - easy to install - works perfectly with a large range of PET disk drives and PET machines (and in my experience a C64 via an IEEE adapter) - Mark has done an amazing job! Thank you

Product: RFOFF Commodore 64 and 128 V1.1 170 sold

95% Perfect

I installed the RFOFF (with Luma bypass option) in my NTSC Commodore 128, connected to a 27" Trinitron CRT. From the excellent before/after video, I wasn't expecting perfect video output, but realize that there will still be jailbars and adjust your expectations.
.
That said, they are much less noticeable even on the worst case BASIC 7.0 startup screen and I don't think most people would notice them in actual usage. The installation instructions were a little lacking, but they basically boil down to "desolder and remove the old RF unit and solder in this one". Maybe a short real-time video showing the process would help.
.
Shipping was amazingly fast. It was out of Australia and into the United States in 2 days...and then sat in Chicago for almost a week!
.
All in all, I am very happy with this purchase. It was fun to take apart my C128 which had always just worked (unlike coughcoughc64breadbin) and improve it with this worthwhile upgrade, and highly recommend it to any C128 owner.

Pads too close.

too difficult to solder on the pads that were too close together. Had to throw it away.

A worthwhile upgrade

I had been looking to upgrade the video quality of my Commodore 64 and found RFOFF in a YouTube video. Mark, creator of The Retro Channel, described the device and gave clear instructions on how to install it. I ordered it, and it came from Australia to the U.S.A. in a reasonable time. It was well-packaged for the trip and didn't have any damage. The version I got had the HDMI connector to go with a VIC-II Kawari, because I may purchase that in the future. Installation was not too difficult for a novice solderer; the hardest part was removing the old RF modulator. The new RFOFF fit perfectly and worked without any trouble-shooting. Picture quality definitely improved, with only a faint, few jailbars still visible. I also like the configurable audio-output jack on the RFOFF. I have a SidKick Pico in my C64 and intend to use the jack for stereo output. All-in-all, I'm glad I chose the RFOFF. Mark was helpful in helping me choose the right model for my machine, and the build quality is excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to order from him again, and I wish him well in his small business. His knowledge and experience are an asset to the retro community.

Paired with the large Kawari Vic-II.

I've paired this board with the large Kawari Vic-II. Works great. Through further modifications, an HDMI sound embedder can be adapted to carry sound and video through one (HDMI) output cable.

Product: TIARA Atari 2600 S-Video and composite mod 213 sold

Works beautifully

My Atari 2600jr had the worst picture quality I'd ever seen even after doing a simple composite mod - blurry, smeary colors, it looked awful.
Not after installing the Tiara, it has about the best picture I've seen an Atari output! Bonus is SVideo! I didn't think Atari 2600 graphics would be worth the bother of SVideo, but I was wrong - it looks fantastic!
Pretty easy install too if you're halfway decent at soldering! Very happy with this!

Great mod for the VIC20!

Instructions were great for installing this mod for the VIC20! The composite video is now much cleaner than before.
