RGB Mod TV - Jumping off point
MiteWiseacre:
My vga to rgb worked fine combining H&V sync to a 75ohm terminated to ground resistor. Looks great

Hey Nipsmg... do you advise these as being the best models to RGB mod? Any issues or caveats with the results? They're definitely abundant. Am thinking of giving it a shot.

Here is my mod with detailed instructions:
https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=63622&start=78
Note, read up on discharging tubes. It’s really not very hard, but make absolutely sure you do it and do it two or 3 times just to be safe. Once you get that, the rest is easy.

It looks like you grounded all of your mods to the S Video ground, is that correct? I was wondering where to run the GND lines, the board or the VGA and was considering just using the VGA ground terminal. This would then have the GND from the potentiometers associated with the H and V sync and the 75ohm to GND from the R/G/B signal running back to the VGA GND. Wiring diagram attached, but GND is not specified yet for potentiometer or a grounding source for the 75ohm - GND... just a generic GND

Sony's with the BA-5D chassis are definitely the most documented for an RGB mod. The link Nipsmg provided has numerous walkthroughs and troubleshooting. Here is a list of Sony models with that chassis:

Although I don't know exactly what chassis they are, I have a few Sony sets that I have been wanting to (and afraid to) mod, so hopefully I can find the motivation/balls to give this a shot finally.
Thank you all for posting!
