I made the great Commodore 1702 monitor even better using new parts!

It’s no secret that I simply love the JVC built Commodore 1702 monitor. It’s a solidly built and excellent performing monitor. One thing that lets the monitor down is the fact that isn’t a multi-standard monitor, meaning it only support PAL _or_ NTSC (depending on where there monitor is from.) Another common problem with these monitors is that most 1702 monitors are now nearly 40 years old, and can be quite worn out. Let’s fix both of these issues by making a one of a kind multi-format and improved 1702 monitor! 0:00 Intro 2:05 Installing the new board 17:11 First power up and setup 28:10 Figuring out how to connect external video inputs and enable S-Video 38:17 Testing out Chroma-Luma input (S-Video) 42:58 Testing the tuner 45:28 Fully testing the completed monitor 56:53 Outro 1:01:29 Addendum (for analog video nerds) -- Links Replacement TV board: ($54 as of Dec 2023) Scanned schematics and service mode info: First video using this replacement board: Hannover Bars Adrian’s Digital Basement Merch store: Adrian’s Digital Basement ][ (Second Channel) Support the channel on Patreon: -- Tools Deoxit D5: O-Ring Pick Set: (I use these to lift chips off boards) Elenco Electronics LP-560 Logic Probe: Hakko FR301 Desoldering Iron: Rigol DS1054Z Four Channel Oscilloscope: Head Worn Magnifying Goggles / Dual Lens Flip-In Head Magnifier: TL866II Plus Chip Tester and EPROM programmer: (The MiniPro) TS100 Soldering Iron: EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter: DSLogic Basic Logic Analyzer: Magnetic Screw Holder: Universal ZIP sockets: (clones, used on my ZIF-64 test machine) RetroTink 2X Upconverter: (to hook up something like a C64 to HDMI) Plato (Clone) Side Cutters: (order five) Heat Sinks: Little squeezy bottles: (available elsewhere too) --- Links My GitHub repository: Commodore Computer Club / Vancouver, WA – Portland, OR – PDX Commodore Users Group --- Instructional videos My video on damage-free chip removal: --- Music Intro music and other tracks by: Nathan Divino @itsnathandivino
