kitjay21 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Since this has been low use for 5200. I figured I would post my refurbished 5200. I broke her open moded her with svideo to an Snes connector in the back. Wet sanded and polished the plastic and was lucky enough to to get one of the last bezels at Best online. Will mod for food.

Yo-Yo Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Whoa. That snes connector in the expansion port is sheer genius. That's a really cool way to breathe new life into the 5200, it looks brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitjay21 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'm new to the whole console modding stuff really but not computers or repairs. When I set out to make it svideo/Composite with dual mono I loved the idea of it from NES rgb mods others were doing. It's cleaner and easy to use even the sound output for 2 ports is right there to connect it up. Did this on a few 7800s as well. Thanks for the complement. Will mod for food.

Fire_In_The_Valley Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 How are you getting the SNES AV connectors? Are you just pulling them off of dead SNES systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitjay21 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 No way I would rather fix them if that were the case. I buy them from a guy named Helder on assemblegamers forums. They are 3d printed plastic and it's own pcb. He has a few different styles, usually for NES RGB upgrades. I like it because it's like HDMI before it was, and with a well shielded scart adapters I use it works really well. I also have some really well made svideo/Composite cables that are nice too.

The Scientist Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 That's very impressive work. I agree with your thoughts re SNES RGB being similar to an early HDMI. I love to see "resto-mods" like yours that improve the system from a technical standpoint while restoring it to like-new condition. Fantastic.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 WOW. I love that 5200! Very nice and the wet sand gave a nice appearance on the 5200's shell. I've been trying to find a way to refinish my 4-port back to the original piano shine it had but wet sanding might be another option. She's a beauty!!

It shines up the old consoles very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
