yo yo yo

Right then, recently I bought myself an Atari Jaguar (wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Jaguar)) to play Doom and Wolfy 3D on, however the A/V cable is something I haven't seen for a good fifteen years.

Click for big (~900k each):

Any idea what I'd need to run this through into a standard co-axial input on my television, or even better if there's a SCART converter for it? I'd google it, but I don't even know the name for this type of jack. I'm pretty sure it's a UK Jaguar, and I'm using a UK telly.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like your bog stranded composite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video) video plug to me, one of these (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=11961&doy=22m7) should let you plug it into your scart socket with no problems

Sure fit in. Pity the Jaguar was fucked :D

The power pin in the hole was on the brink of snapping, you know it's superloose when wiggling the jack makes the console turn on and off wildly.

Anyway, cheers for that Tiggs; there'll be a pint in that for you.

It's not hard to fix though, you could quite easily replace the socket.

You're right; but then probably not a smart idea given that my dexterity matches that of Micheal J. Fox on smack at a trance disco.

I wanted the Master System anyway :D

If you're willing to pay P&P etc. I can fix it for you.

Are you serious?

Those plugs are on the front of every TV you can buy here, though usually in 3's of left/right audio, and a yellow for video like yours.
I guess scart is rather common over there, i actually find it quite chunky and annoying, though its multiple cables in one so i suppose thats useful.

Yeah you're right; they're still in use over here. I've never seen one on it's own since I was using my 8-bit Atari's though; it's all been standard co-axial cables and SCART cables since then. I'm such a cable newbie :D
