Ralf at Retro-Modding in Germany says: "As we fixed all known
coleco design issues on our own consoles we now focussed to finally
complete that effort on consoles we have not modded.
Our repro power supply for the coleco vision entered its 6th year so we
decided to offer an enhanced version.
Finally the power supply itself is identical to the standard offer for
19,95 €.
Two known issues are fixed: the power switch and power led problem!
So for 29,95 € you‘ll get the enhanced
version fixed the known power on glitch, and video artefacts providing a
power led as well (no modding required)."
Ralf says also: "We will also offer soon the ColecoVision FAQ as PDF

everything I can to optimize the code for the ColecoVision."
The 2nd version by ASCII is converted by Eduardo at Opcode Games.

possible, that should solve the problem of unreliable and broken switches.

Dan Kunz has cleverly invented a way to offer YUV to RGB output
from a ColecoVision.
The cunning is that the circuit board is mounted just below the existing
GPU, on the underside of ColecoVision's printed circuit board.
Dan Kunz was in 2017 contacted about an RGB mod for the ColecoVison, and
he says: "I can't believe there is no mod out there for the DIY."
Dan Kunz aka citrus3000psi is satisfied with the results and says that it
works fine in a test trial.
Dan Kunz says: "The design it’s based around TI original docs. I’ve
been told that each ColecoVision console output varies slightly and
therefore needs to be dialed in."
So when this little RGB mod for our ColecoVision will see a release is not
known yet.
