Amiga Scandoublers on eBay again!

[Harrison]

I've been discussing this device with some other retro enthusiasts since originally discovering it a while back. The actual PCB this device uses can be purchased from ebay for around £30, and it is fairly easy to make a custom Amiga RGB cable to connect to it, as we have now worked out the wiring needed to produce the best image. The cable wouldn't cost more than £5 to make at most. The hardest bit is sourcing the 23 pin Amiga connector, but old Amiga A520 modulators can be broken to obtain these, so not too much of a problem. Therefore for under £40 to make a working unit, plus a bit more for a case to house it and I think you can see the huge markup this ebay seller is making from this sale, easily 100% profit.

A member over at Amibay is even willing to make up the cables needed so that might be sorted.

Still, it is a great solution for Amiga fans wanting to connect their Amiga's to a modern monitor, but i don't think buying from this seller is the best option. Much better to buy the parts and build it yourself. After all, half the fun of the retro hobby is actually playing around with the hardware.
