Howdy,

Just putting this out there in case anyone's interested.
It's an Atari 7800 console that has two important mods already done:

1. A/V composite mod (allows you to bypass the normal RF signal and use your yellow/red composite inputs for a crisp picture)
2. AC Adapter modded (has the weird proprietary AC adapter plug replaced with a barrel type plug - uses a Sega Genesis AC Adapter now)

The best part is that these upgrades are done without modifying the console case!

The A/V mod is done using the existing RF socket (you use a wire splitter dongle that uses the existing RF output jack) and the wire dongle is included.
The AC Adapter socket has been replaced with a barrel type jack - which replaces the proprietary blue jack on stock consoles. The AC Adapter is also included.

The console is in great shape and works well.
I bought this pre-modded, so I don't know much about which upgrade kit was used (UAV perhaps?)

Any issues?
*Some games may require an insertion or two to get working. This is common, but just putting that out there.
*The other item that occasionally occurs is that the picture may start up as distorted -- you can fiddle with the A/V plug and twist it to clear up the issue.

So it works, but is a little finnicky (which is why my price reflects that).


INCLUDED IN THE SET:
1. Atari 7800 modded console (plays both 7800 and 2600 games)
2. A/V Composite dongle (you'll need to supply your own composite cable to make the connection to your TV)
3. Sega Genesis AC Power Brick
4. Super Deluxe Joystick (aftermarket joystick that uses leaf springs -- a good alternative to a stock CX-78!)
5. One loose game cartridge (Pole Position II)
6. BONUS! Complete boxed copy of Centipede 7800!

Price -- $90.00 + shipping (or best offer!)

Shoot me any questions you might have! Great setup that has useful quality of life features already in place.
