Composite/stereo output job for a Turbografx-16?

J.D

No Stranger To Love
I own a working Turbografx-16. It doesn't have RCA hookups- rather, it only comes with coaxial potato output.
Turboboosters are stupid expensive. I've seen TG16 RCA mods before, but I'm terrible at soldering despite being a member here for 6 years :awesomejd:
Any MR oldies with names I recognize wanna give it a shot? Name your price.
 
hey i remember you , haven't seen you around here for ages lol , also the tg16 port is not that hardcore to solder to , am pretty sure you can handle it
 
I did this mod and it's remarkably simple. You can just pull the connections off of the Expansion port. I also recommend using a 3.5mm 4-pin jack for a cleaner look instead of the usual Yellow/Red/White jacks, which is too bulky IMO.

For mine I 3D printed a base for the jack and placed it on the opposite side of the power jack for a uniform look.

I wouldn't consider myself Modretro Alumni but I do have some more jacks coming soon in the mail if you can't find anyone else.

Edit: Adding a power LED, say, under the circle in the Turbografx 16 logo is also a nice look.
