Guess I should spell it all out:
NES Toploader composite modded: picture no longer works. I'm not really sure I'm interested in doing a component mod, I'd really just like it working again.
NGCD: discs won't spin. Boots up fine, but no spinning discs = no reading discs.
Atari 7800 s-video modded: unusual sound, terrible composite, but really nice s-video until one day it got darker and darker until now it no longer outputs anything. I have a new UAV board coming my way, though, which is supposed to be fairly easy to install (for those who know how to solder).
ColecoVision: need composite mod, I already have the mod, just need someone to install it.
I've got no soldering skills, and honestly I don't have the time to learn (or spare electronics to burn through). I don't mind paying for shipping if it means I have everything in good working order again.
I'm with you, Black Tiger. My Genesis is component modded, and on this 17 year old television I'm not really seeing a huge difference, not to justify the price at least. Maybe when there are no CRTs left, it will matter more, but honestly, I just want to play games.
