[Coco] Technical question

[Bob Devries]

In my experience, sometimes the coax socket on the coco3 gets loose, and the 
wire from the tip to the modulator sub-board makes a bad connection, causing 
snow. This is of course the Aussie version of the coco, but I'm sure the USA 
version would be similar.

What I usually did was re-solder the centre contact wire, and then actually 
solder the body of the RCA socket to the frame of the modulator. It's a 
fiddly job, and may require removing the modulator from the motherboard.

Hehe, I could use a bit of snow right now; it's hot here. Thankfully I'm not 
in Victoria with the bushfire problem.
