Quick mod and PS3 update...

I did get my PS3 back from repairs. Works like a champ! I'd like to meet the guy who did this and learn some tricks of the trade to diagnose and fix newer consoles. That would be great.

Also, recalling a Previous Post from earlier this year, I got around to quick fixing that 2600 Jr. that has been staring at me while I browse the internet or blog.

Simply put, cart slot nubs were missing, had to replace them somehow.

In the current Genesis project, I replaced the screws that I was using with countersunk ones, just so the finished look at the S-Video connector looked clean. I've used those screws to "fix" the nub situation.

They were initially cut uneven. That's because they were too long and I figured that they'd be inside the console and no one would see them.

I may take my rotary tool's cutting wheel to both screws to get them even or just go get shorter screws. 

I also came across a schematic (well, sort of) to mod this Jr. for A/V...but I may just plunk $40 to get the proper mod board...I dunno still.
