1. Hello and S-video mod for the TS2068

Hello Everyone.
I guess I need to learn how to use the yahoo groups interface... I thought I sent an email to the group, but looks like I messed up.... Noob mistake.
Well, anyway I recently joined the group and wanted to say hello.
Also, like most people who "discover" the TS2068, I found the noise on the composite output horrible. I did the linear power supply mod which improved things a bit, but I wanted to see if I can make things even better. I saw mentions of a S-Video mod for this machine, but could not find any details (mainly a short thread here by Richard Atkinson who also had a web page and a youtube video...) So, I dug into the video circuit of this computer a bit and got S-Video modification working. I wrote up the details and uploaded to File -> 2068 video Mod ->Timex Sinclair 2068 S-Video Mod.pdf.
Anyway, sorry if this information was already available... hopefully it's useful for someone.
Cheers,
Rob

This would make a great YouTube video. :) You could show the difference in
quality, as well as the steps to assembly.
