New VIC-20 Video Cable & New PSU
Posted: Sat Mar 04, 2023 4:12 pm
I recently acquired a new PSU for my VIC-20 and C64 from Keelog. The PSU works great on both. I also acquired off of Amazon a new video cable (kenable 5 Pin Male Din Plug to 4 x RCA Phono Male Plugs Audio Cable) that works with the VIC-20 and the C64. I ran into a situation regarding electronic interference with the new video cable and the new PSU. When using the new PSU with the new cable, my monitor shows what I'm calling horizontal static interference lines that scroll up the screen. The same is seen when I connect to my TV except the scrolling is from top to bottom.
- When I connect up the old Commodore PSU while using the new video cable, the issue goes away. I really don't like this solution.
- When I swap the video cable out with a multi-choice (different connectors to chose from) video connector that appears to have shielded cable, the problem goes away.
Would you concur that ordering a shielded video cable such as this one: http://herculesworkshop.com/cgi-bin/p/a ... item=61579 would likely resolve the issue?
Thank you!
