Radio Shack TV modulator with S video input pretty good
Picked up one of these at a store that is closing for around 95% off ($1.45)!
#150-2526 Turns out that they did some prefiltering of the luma before combining it with the chroma. What this does is to remove the luma that would end up being misinterpreted by early color TV sets (and modern sets using a "notch filter", not a comb filter), creating crawling rainbow patterns on football referee's shirts. This means that our vintage color TV sets will present better looking images with this prefiltering.

They were selling the stuff, By-the-bag. $25.00 for a rather large plastic shopping bag. You could put a lot of items in there. There was a guy, just grabbing all the items, off the pegboard display and filling the bag. I thought, he's either a Craiglister or an *bayer. |

Radio Shack modulator
I confess I was one of those guys taking the by-the-bag RS discounts, but not for CL or e-Bay. I was only choosing itemns that I thought I would use myself.
My local store was letting stuff go in last 2 days of the sale for $10 a large bag, but there was not much left at that point. I did pick up a lot of connectors, some component parts, switches, however, and one breadboard. At list prices the receipt said i saved $1100!! The items I bought worked out to $0.02 cents an item. Back to the modulator, it is still available at remaining RS stores and on the web until they decide where they are going with product mix or even if the bankruptcy proposal will be accepted by the courts and the marketplace. |

Even though I had a box crammed to the brim, for $10, they still had to scan each and every last item. Made for a 15 foot receipt.
