Notes

doubledown's modified ColecoVision, sold as a package rather than as separate jobs: composite A/V output, a proper power button and a reset button.

What that fixes

  • RF only from the factory, which a modern television handles poorly if at all - the A/V mod buffers out the composite signal the modulator already generates.
  • No power switch at all on a stock console, so it is switched at the wall.
  • Reset within reach rather than behind the machine.

doubledown supplied video-modded consoles to order for years, under the name Viking Video Games, and stopped some time ago - so these are a finite set. Super CV 2, which adds a pause button, is catalogued separately.
