A Composite video conversion is pretty easy; I converted a G7400 over in
about 5 minutes.

  > collectible.  (What is the G7000 anyway? 
Yes, I did buy it!  It  has an 
   8048 as
the CPU, of all things!) 
 It is a video game system that is compatible with the Magnavox  Odessey^2

 Do you have any cartridges for it. If not then I have a few  duplicates.

 Yes thanks, I have four or five.  I don't expect to use the thing
 until 
 I can find out how to get composite video or RGB out, since I don't 
 possess a television.

 [For those of you not in the UK, here one requires a licence to
 operate 
 "Television Receiving Apparatus", which I think includes any TV with a

 UHF tuner, but not a monitor.  The licence fee is (without looking up 
 either the current fee or the exchange rate) about $120 a year, and I
 am 
 not prepared to pay this.  So I don't have a TV - and seldom miss it.]
