Hello, after years of owning a TS1500 and not daring to open it because it's in perfect condition I was able to buy a broken TS1500 in near mint condition. This had to be opened in order to be repaired.
I was lucky, it was just a broken Z80 that was socketed and a brittle membrane.
I made a composite mod and want to change it from 60Hz to 50Hz.
Does anybody know which resistor number it is in a TS1500?
Kind regards Paul
TS1500 50Hz which resistor
TS1500 50Hz which resistor
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.
Re: TS1500 50Hz which resistor
Not certain it can be done that way, least i never was able on my ts1500, however you can use and external rom and hardcode it for 50hz

Hi Andy, I guess it would be possible internally as well?
Which bytes have to be changed?
Do you know how the channel 2/3 selection works? Maybe this could be (ab)used for ROM switching?
Kind regards Paul

Re: TS1500 50Hz which resistor
Somewhere I’ve come across some comments from someone who wanted to do the same thing with his TS1500. If I remember correctly, although the ‘ULA’/gate array has a pin that is supposed to be the 50/60Hz input selection, changing the logic level made no difference.
I can’t for the life of me remember where I read about this.

Inside the "Modulator" case there is a diode in the left front corner. The left pin of which is either 5V or 0V depending on channel selection.
I guess I don't need 60hz. Maybe I make an internal ROM with bigbang and sponzy. Black and white spectrum in a TS1500 case - crazy enough to get it done.
