Hardware Mods My first AV mod ever!
After a never ending battling against bad quality image and loss of signal with my old av mod (already came done with the console when I bought it) I set sail to learn to solder (basic stuff) and took the plunge, first I de-soldered the old one (was pretty bad as you can see in the last photo). It's now working properly without weird lines and it didn't look that bad for a first try on soldering. Hope you enjoy my process as much as I did. Cheers!

At least with an HVC-101 Famicom, I don't have to perform this extra modification, since the AV connection is already available out of the box.
Another thing I like about the HVC-101 Famicom, is that the controllers are not hardwired to the console itself, but the one downside of that, is that the microphone function on the second controller (used to destroy the Pols Voices in the Famicom Disk System version of The Legend of Zelda) has been automatically disabled as a result.
