Surround sound for our ColecoVision is what
Ralf from Germany now offer.
It increases the sound output quality dramatically adding Surround sound
and near Stereo effect.
Sound is similar to arcade quality. Old games with a new sound experience
as the sound is pumped up in frequency and intensity, too.
A small PCB board in about 5x3 cm size containing AV-Mod and Sound output.
Ralf offer also a smaller version with sound only for the RGB version.
Ralf says also that he found a source for power supplies and he now offer
to mod them directly into the ColecoVision.
You'll get a normal European connector at the back (replacing old
connector) with built in power supply.
"This mod is also combined with pause key and blue power led on
your device". Power supply is industrial and delivers all required
power voltages.
Last, but not least. A joystick adapter with built in Keypad and also an
adapter to connect generic PS3 stearing wheels for Turbo are in Ralf's
planning.
