CoCo1 composite video

When I got the CoCo, one of the big problems was the super-smeary, snowy video on the RF-out. Even though composite video is generated internally by the video circuitry of the computer, Tandy didn’t end up breaking it out to an actual port. Lots of other 8-bit machines of the era are in the same boat. Luckily, adding a composite video port to the CoCo is very straightforward! So straightforward, in fact, that I did it twice.

does anyone that I’m connected to #repair old TRS-80 Color Computers (or is connected to anyone who does) & is based even vaguely anywhere near #Canberra? (or within plausible shipping distance)

I wish to exchange $$ for goods & services to put the #MagicBlueSmoke back into my beloved old #CoCo1… 😢

#boost4reach pls 🙏
