Vga box replacement

Post by 247 »

Hi everyone,
I haven't been able to check if my reset fixes were working or not cause my vga box seems dead and my scart cable is nowhere to be found (grrr). I have an rf cable but i really don't want to play with that (and anyway is still sealed)

I will open my vga box and have a look at it, but in the meantime...

Has anyone some suggestion on what to buy as replacement?

I was looking for something cheap, i mean, i am not looking for the best image ever possible, but just something nice like my vga box, and i was thinking about a pound cable which seems good enough and affordable.

What are the differences with an hyperkin cable?
Any other suggestion?

What about this one?

Shame to see anyway i paid my vga box 6 or 7 years ago new for 20€ shipped, now the same model (the transparent vga retrobox) is about 50€ plus shipping used...

I highly recommend this https://www.beharbros.com/toro

It's what I use. It outputs VGA/Scart also it has a scan line generator (can be toggled on/off). Really amazing picture quality imo.
