    Prices are for items shipped inside of the USA. Other countries may have additional shipping cost. Payment accepted via paypal. Please do not add a note in paypal mentioning anything about mods or similar terminology.

    Have updated the amp to viletim's suggest output resistors instead of the 100 ohm that I was using. The output looks the same as with the 100 ohm resistors but is now the more correct way to do it. See here for viletim's explanation:
    http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=4822.msg34061#msg34061

    Most other amps for sale do not account for the non standard output of the PC Engine/TG16 and will have too bight of an output with washed out colors. The amps come with a piece of double side tape attached to the bottom.


    amp = $20 shipped (1 to 3 are $20 a piece, any after 3 are $15 a piece)
    amp + connector + euro scart cable = $40 shipped (add $10 for sync strip cable)

    Amp includes 2 4.7uf ceramic caps at no extra charge in case you want to do Viletim's jailbar fix.

    Available are PCB mount 8 pin DIN (RGB pins pre trimmed and labeled) for consoles like the CoreGrafx, Turbo Duo, etc.. or circular panel mount 8 pin DIN for IFU-30, Tennokoe 2, etc...

    Panel Mount's data sheet with dimensions: http://www.cui.com/product/resource/sd-xxls-series.pdf

    mmmonkey has a good guide on how to install the PCB mount jack:

    Pics of sync strip cable board was designed by Helder. Shown below before attaching cable.

    (extra 2 wires on back are for 2 grounds that were missed on the board)

    I can also make the cable JP21 upon request. Also can make an 8 pin mini din cable upon request, but there is not much demand for those so not going to keep any premade after I run out of what I have made already.

    I recently received some of these from mickcris and can vouch for both their quality and his service.

    Wow. You should have asked a European for help. That said, Newark is Farnell, who sell Multicomp - the standard connector used here, really. If your cable isn't too thin, you might not be using a thick enough cable. They should fit a standard multicore AV cable fine.

    I'm good with the ones I ordered. I did not want any more of the Multicomp brand connectors (which is what I had been using). Since I am using 8 conductor cable with molded din connectors, I cannot change the cable size. These ones seem like better quality anyways than the Multicomp and they were cheaper. Just I had to order a ton of them. I'm sure I will get rid of the extras eventually.

    Sadly, I don't think there's any such thing as a decent SCART connector any more... if there ever was. It was a flawed design from the start, quality-wise. If they're nice connectors, though, I'm sure they'll sell ;)

    You might want to consider doing smaller bundles at a higher price, though (i.e. quantity discount) - the only people who'll buy 50 are those who will make and sell cables. No casual gamer needs 50 SCART leads - you'd be hard pressed (unless you're running variants) to find 50 different consoles! ;) And that's effectively your market here. Say bundles of 5 or 10.... even if it was $10 for 5, you'd probably sell them quicker.

    thanks. I will probably do that soon. Just was trying to see if anyone wanted a large quantity (like console modders) first before breaking them up into smaller quanitites. I did not say I would not sell them in smaller quantities, only that I prefer to sell in the bags of 50 they came in. :)

    edit:
    just updated my ebay auctions with lesser quantities cause why wait i guess. if anyone wants any other quantity, let me know. nothing less than 5 though please.
