From the project

A PCB design for a two transistor based composit video out mod the the Atari 2600.

The schematic is based on the one found in this post on the Atari Age forums.

Gerber files have been generated and can be found in the Gerbers folder including a zip file to be sent to your favorite PCB fab house. There is also a interactive BOM file in the bom folder
