Ciao Paolo! The truth is i have sold this monitor along with a Sinclair QL and the RGB 15-pin cable last year so, i cannot really find the connections now. On the other hand, when it was tested with MPEG/4 TV decoder and simple Composite signal, I remember I have found (trial-n-error) cable via the PAL-CCIR 11:07 5Din socket - and it worked perfectly, for SEGA console as well. The RGB-AF would be better of course but i had the same problem with you. I know it is a pain to get any information or schematics for these monitors, that is why i was playing around with the 5-Din myself 😞 Hope this helps and thank you a million for watching!

Hey Paul, I know what you mean...combine the existing signals and go through a transistor for amplification ... the schematic is pretty straight fwd. and i think i will go for it! Thanks!

Hello Peter! Thank you so much! I have to get the connector for sure but I looked around and everywhere is "0" items in stock... 😞 I have to admit that ..I haven't downloaded Bob and the alien fireflies yet.. But since i still have some PCBs for Atari DIY cartridges, i am going to do it soon!

Hi there VaderOne, the truth is i haven't tried the combination of these two so far, but it is definitely a great idea for a future video mate! Thank you so much for watching and for the inspiration! Cheers!

Hi mate, thanks for dropping in! Crystal is 17.734475 MHz (which is pretty much standard), the caps are 10μF electrolytic @16V. and a ceramic of 47pF The resistor...is probably 220KΩ @ 1/4W. Τhe resistor is worn so not really clear. Atariage.com has several articles to visit! Cheers!

Hello and thanks for the info! All valid information shared, the truth is that SUBcart is the top choice for retro Atari XL/XE. I haven't tested it so far but the specs are great! Looking fwd. to getting my hands on it. Thanks again for watching and for your contribution! Your videos are awesome btw!

@@melihhabi Hi and thanks for dropping by! Like you said, when the laser used to be new, the adjusted value was such. Now, needs readjustment ...try tiny increments clockwise and test...I can tell by experience that it will need just a couple of times! I hope this helps and your console will be working just fine!!!

@@bonearrowgroup I cannot exchange old reliable and understandable technology with anything modern! I am glad you own this wonderful piece of radio history and thank you for watching!!

@@winstallation It is just another helpful device, indeed. It works just fine as long as you keep an eye on it and keep track of the consumption. Truth is, the Megawatts / hour rate is not helping lately..

Hello Peter! Thank you for watching my friend! Cheers!

Hi there! Kapton tape is even better because it is temperature resistant and full anti-static features! Good on you mate! Thank you so much for watching!

Hello Pedro! It seems you have a very nice version of the console! I never had the chance to get my hands on one of those but i looked around for some info and so, here it is: db.hfsplay.fr/files/2019/09/18/saturneu_2SyPH12.pdf Not sure where is the actual info, but it always comes handy to have the service manual around... Then, i saw this: www.retrosix.wiki/laser-tuning-sega-saturn It LOOKS like, you have to deal with R114 and play around in small increments I wouldn't touch the R104, as the writer suggests though... I really hope this helps, let us know if you made it after all - Do not forget, there is an alignment resistor on the side of the laser pack (yellow). In my case, music only could be played as welll. ... Many thanks for watching!!....

Hi Ben! you got it almost right, the goal is to have the ribbon stable on the metal underneath - I used double sided tape to hold it lower than the surface of the upper part of the cover so that it wouldn't be scratched anymore. The idea is to get it to the maximum length indeed because the laser goes up and down and it is not right to have it tight. Thank you so so much for watching! Please, let me know you did it after all.!

Another console saved ....and this is my reward mate! Thank you for watching! Glad you saved it ! 🙂

Thanks mate! I appreciate your dedication to this channel!

You're so very welcome Anthony! Your words are my best reward as I'm trying to keep all of these wonderful consoles alive! thank you for watching and cheers!

Hi there, it was in the description - Please, check : github.com/brendanalford/zx-diagnostics/wiki/Firmware

@@CyberhugTechnologies That's the github of the ROM, not the board (PCB).

@@peddersoldchap Yep, i see - Try the link: github.com/konkotgit/ZX-external-ROM The gerbers can be found there and the design can support up to 4x images on the eprom. Thanks for watching!

Hey there! I am so, so glad you made it right! Another retro device is saved! Your words are my reward! Cheers and thank you for watching!

@@CyberhugTechnologies Hello, shouldn't it turn off on its own after the tape is finished? I have to press stop

@@edege540 Hi there and thank you for watching! Yes, there is a white little plastic thing which is loosely carried away along with the tape (any direction) and when the tape stops, this stops and a little spring brings the play button up. If this little plastic is damaged or the little spring is lost then the stop process cannot be initiated.

Hey Scott! Glad it brought back memories mate! Thank you so much for watching!

It is an RGB or Composite signal input so, I tried the monitor with SEGA - thank you for watching!

Thank you so much for watching Knight! It is indeed a wonderful machine! Cheers!

Hi Matthew! I am so glad it brought back memories! Thank you so so much for watching and for stopping by!

Hey Fixer, thanks for dropping in! Sounds like you did a great job with that cable already! Smell comes over the years when humidity and dust go hand in hand 😀I know how it is ! Thank you for watching and keep it up with saving retro gems!

Hi there! This is probably the most interesting question! Well, it depends on the game, if it is demanding, but mostly depends on the HDD itself. For example, i have experienced slow motion at some point when playing with the model that uses an IDE HDD - while at the same time, using a SATA HDD instead, the experience gets far better! If the game pushes the hardware to the limits though, there are not many things to do! thank you for dropping by and for the key-question!

Hi Zak! As the first step please, check my other video for grinding noise and i hope it will help! ruclips.net/video/HQqL4akKd9I/видео.html thanks for watching!

@@CyberhugTechnologies nope still nothing

Hi and thanks for dropping in! That is a good question..! So, you do it gently by hand. Please, do not force it, you really do not have to. Many thanks for watching!

@CyberhugTechnologies Thank you for the response. It turns out moving the laser wasn't as fragile or as difficult as I initially thought. Now I can see my ribbon cable is perfectly fine and I don't have to worry for the time being. Thank you so much.

Hi and thanks for dropping in! The shape of this hinge is round and quite short in order not to break easily so, only by force it can be broken - I think wear and tear is not a possible damage, only mishap by force can break it.

Hi and thanks for dropping in! I have used a very thin tape, the office kind of tape because i wanted this to be extra thin under the ribbon. You can use any type of double sided tape as long as it is very thin - strong is not important.

Hi and many thanks for dropping in - also for the valuable info shared here! That was my first impression from the beginning and you're absolutely correct! for some reason, when this happens i feel better when an eprom gets in place. Thanks for watching!
