Thanks Viraj mate, appreciate it. :)

Great job on the restoration, especially on the hot glue button mount fix. The Atari 7800 is a great old system isn't it? ;)

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and yes, the 7800 is a great old system with lot's a classics.

Ha ha, I recognise the modulator and vertical red coil from the Atari 400/800. They clearly re-used parts/designs that they already had. I tried googling to find out the video capabilities of the Maria video chip, but didn't find any clear description.

Really enjoyed the video, many thanks

Hello, wow you are a pro. Can you assist. How exactly can I change the power switch electronic part? To one that stays either on or off. As in the ATARI 2600 & Colecovision. More of a manual power switch. It is ok if the plastic case has to be cut to make room for new power switch. Thank you.

I don't think you will be able to on the 7800, as there is not enough room for a switch like on the 2600 and Vision to fit inside the 7800, and the switch used on the 7800 is very different from the switches used on 2600.

Looks great! Excellent job!

Great video! Excuse the ignorance but what is IPA? Is that Isopropyl Alcohol? Thanks!

Thank you, appreciate it. Regarding your question, Yes IPA is short for Isopropyl Alcohol. :-)

Does this model have composite video output?

I just checked and it doesn't so I guess you used an analog TV 😊
