LOL Tempest, it's not too difficult. It really depends on how you want to wire it, but it comes with everything you would need for a stereo (thru the 1/8 headphone jack) and a composite video RCA, and separate Chroma & Luma (also thru RCA) The separate chroma & luma are only good for the old Commodore monitors, or you can use those wires if you are using s-video. Basically with this mod you would need a 1/8 headphone jack to dual rca spliter for the stereo output on a TV, and then basic red/white/yellow rca cables.
For the RF shielding I used needle nose pliers to bend up the tabs, then a pocket knife to break loose, it came up easily enough. I used 1/4" drill bit on the rca jack openings on the expansion port cover. I used the templete, name plate sticker as a guide for spacing but didn't care for it back there, so I removed once I but my pieces in. And yeah it's a good idea to pay attention to how it hooks up, as I don't believe those wires come back out of that molex connector thingie once they are pushed in. There are 2 wires on each rca that you use, a main & a ground, the ground is looped together and wired to the washers that are used on the inside to mount the rcas on the expansion port cover. And you have the wire that passed thru the center of the rca, and is already soldered up, and it simply plugs into the molex deal on the other side. The ground goes to all of them when it's put together.
So basically you open it up
Remove RF shielding
Remove Exp cover
Remove GTIA cip as pictured
Install on video mod board
Install video mod board in it's place on the 5200
The take the drill bit to the expansion cover, as needed to put all the ports you want back there.
Pull out all your wiring stuff and separate it.
He's got a color code by which is going to which on the video mod board thing, but it's not too important, but may make you're connects off by however you've got it placed on the expansion cover, your video could be a luma, or a chroma a composite, or whatever. Again that all depends on how and what you use anyway, you may only want composite video & stereo.
Pass the rca jacks thru the holes you drilled, and then pass the ground washers on them, then the nut to hold in place.
Then snap the other ends to the molex connector.
plug the molex into the video mod board.
connect the jumper lead, to the pin as marked in the other picture I posted.
Put the RF shielding back on.
Assmeble.
Test.
Play.
This is what mine will look like:
