As a fresh/reborn CV owner I've been looking for some info for A/V mods to spice up the picture quality, but despite a lot of info I can't really find out of there's a difference between PAL and NTSC versions. Most how-tos seem to speak of just one version of the CV motherboard.
I didn't open my CV yet so I haven't compared it to the pictures I found (I'd like to open it not too often for fear of breaking something eventually ).

Anyone who can shed a little light on this?

There are definite differences, the ntsc mod will not work on a pal cv.
There have been a lot failed pal mod attempts, but I think someone finally cracked it recently.
Have a search in the hardware forum, I'm pretty sure it was detailed there

I am also trying to find how we could mod European model of Colecovision, I would like to get composite video/audio output. Has anyone done mod like this..

If you search the forum for secam and or pal there's links to these mods.

actually I have time,

I have done the PAL mod on 2 consoles and get pretty good results.
Let me know if you have any problems getting it going.

Hey, I know this is an old topic but I've got a PAL coleco with RF problems. I've seen the diagram from gamesx that is linked above all over the net, but I'm not really skilled enough to follow it.

The RGB mod on at nightfallcrew seems easier to follow - is it really as straight forward as soldering a few wires on to the board?
