It is a modern tiny board, that just passes S-Video and Composit through. The original modulators are a major signal degrader. I can however buy two different solutions. One being an Component mod and the other being an HDMI mod. Though with the signal quality that my original Breadbin 250407 (YouTube), with original RF modulator and quality S-Video cable gives, then they are kind of waste of money. Especially when I use my RetroTink and the VIC-II is Revision-5.
So, you sent me a lot of links yesterday to start my endeavours into getting my newly arrived C64 working, thanks, and from the schematics of the C64, it seems that at least the S-Video signals (Luminace/COLOR) are output directly from the VIC? All though passing through the RF modulator, I would find it plausible, that the modulator could be bypassed with the signals?
Wait, scrolling down the schematics, I see it seems that the Luminance and Chrominance are buffered inside the RF Modulator
