Chaps,
Looking for a SCART cable for my STE.
I have one already but was supplied with the machine many moons ago and do not believe it is up to scratch.
Can someone recommend a seller who does actual good quality shielded cables, that are a marked improvement over the generic crap?
I can't see that Exxos makes/sells them?
Cheers

Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
I was going to make some, even got 100s of scart cables... But just no time.. And I couldn't source screened cable even so gave up in the end.
I think there's sellers on evilbay which sell such cables.. Not screened AFAIK.

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~

Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
I've mostly been happy with cables from coolnovelties.co.uk, they are affordable and quality is decent.
You can also check with a.mi.goun at AmiBay, I bought some very high quality cables from him. He does mostly Amiga and Commodore 8-bit machines, but I've seen he has some Atari cables too and he has also made bespoke cables for me.

Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
I'd also recommend coolnovelties.co.uk, I've had quite a few cables from them over the years and had no problems. Quality is good and prices reasonable.Laupert wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 8:00 am I've mostly been happy with cables from coolnovelties.co.uk, they are affordable and quality is decent.

Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
I also use Coolnovelties as a goto when I'm looking for a cable. I recently looked there for a Spectrum Next > Scart and there it was!. They are also cheap as chips and are built well.

Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
You are a tease Exxos. I'd rather have bought a cable from here knowing it had been designed and extensively tested for known issues, with any recommended fixes.
Looks like I will stump up the money for one of those on eBay with the split off RCA connectors.
Exxos, please revisit this
Thanks all.
Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
Getting them made is not much of a problem, it is the end cost of building them, my price would end up being double what cool novelties charge, and as people generally gravitate towards eBay first, I cannot really see them ever selling unfortunately My plan was to do a screened version, so at least it was something more for the money, but the cable just does not exist

Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
I see your point mate.
Maybe there isn't a market for them. I would have certainly paid extra for a really top quality cable, but can understand why other people wouldn't.

Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
@EvilFranky Just since nobody else has recommended these guys: https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/atari/st
Retrogamingcables are highly regarded in the 'retro gaming' world for all consoles, so I would assume their ST cable is also of a high quality.
Plus it is screened cable:
"Constructed from custom screened cable especially made for Retro Gaming Cables."

Re: SCART Cable recommendations?
Likely overall screened, not individually screened. When I was looking at cables it was physically to big to fit in the DIN!
