So you can see them through the RF cable. Was this before you added the mod? or only after the mod was added?

To tell you the truth they aren't that bad through the RF. That I don't remember? The A/V mod is what made me pay attention. One of the ColecoVision's audio has a lot of Static in the sound. But sounds fine thru the A/V mod. The other ColecoVision's sound has no static either way.

Well the sound is lifted directly from the sound chip with Ben Heck's mod, there fore it bypasses the RF Board sound. Check to make sure the two connections to the snd chip are not touching.

The Video is lifted from the RF board, so if there's a problem with the RF board for video, it will happen with the mod too.
BUT, I think you said both CV's have the same video problem so I'm not sure whats wrong.


That power switch that you said moved around creates artifacts and blackens the screen, I'm pretty sure that's not related.

So I don't think I can help any further, unless there's something near the tv interfering or the power supply is plugged into a noisy power outlet.
Maybe move to a different room tv and cv and see what happens. Don't have the controllers plugged in just in case.
