Twelve pounds at auction and a surprising number of SCART leads.

NOTES

We bought a box labelled “misc cables” at a house auction. It was mostly SCART leads, two RF modulators and, at the bottom, a boxed light pen.

    Honestly the composite version has a charm the RGB one lacks. Fight me.

      Rosin flux from a jar, cleaned with isopropyl straight after.

        Good question. We measured it and it dropped by about half after the recap.

      Same here. Seems like the whole production run had it.

        Manual focus, shutter at 1/30 so it covers a full field.

    My local repair cafe has a whole shelf of these waiting for volunteers.

    Good call on labelling every screw. I learned that the hard way.

    The tip about the grounding strap should be in bold at the top.
