Atari 2600 Portable

Question

Ben, how did you build the Atari 2600 portable remake? I'm trying to make my own for travel purposes and I want to make something portable. Can you send me the shchematics for the build? Also, where did you find the parts for it? Thanks, Rafe

I too would like this. However I think I may be able to point you in the right direction. The schematic of the origional 2600 Ben follows can be found here...

AtariAge - Atari 2600 Schematics - NTSC

The trick is eliminating all the unnecessary parts such as the parts for the RF A/V. In Bens book, he makes his first portable Atari and in that he cuts off everything outside the RF sheild and makes standard A/V outputs for ther portable TV it uses. Heres the page for the book which includes references files that should help.
