[Coco] CoCo 3 RGB to SCART video, then converted to HDMI

[Dave Philipsen]

That's why buying from Amazon might be a good idea.  If it doesn't work, 
Amazon will stand behind you on the return policy whereas it may be more 
difficult with eBay.  I would imagine that Amazon requires vendors to 
have a solid return policy in order to participate in marketplace.  
Also, at least one of the units I saw on Amazon was offered and 
fulfilled directly from Amazon and I know that Amazon will offer a 
return/refund if it doesn't work for you.
