did he [Bill] actually already knew about the "simple" s-vid mod before peeps did find out in here?
I just watched the episode and I wondered about that. He used a 100 Ohm resistor instead of the 220 Ohm that everyone here (steve included) thought was just about proper. Thus, the Luma/Y is more bright out of Bill's S-Video mod for Joe's friend (Dave). Bill speaks of the capacitor maps online, and I only know of RedGhost's that come from here, so yeah, I wonder. He credits only console5.com for things.
Not a great job though, to be honest; he just soldered a bent-up transistor right on pin 40 of the 6260 video chip, didn't use a new PCB to solder all components on instead, resistor and capacitor included, etc. Not exactly how I would want it done, but yeah. To be fair, a pro like steve does things like that too. No shortcuts with the cap replacement work certainly, that was fine.
Anyway, other than that, it was a great episode.
