Got an update for you guys! Here's the work that was done last night:

Here's the finished mod. As you can see, we used some really big overkill capacitors, but only because we couldn't find anything smaller (lol)
We decided to use hole in that small bit of metal just above the mod board

Here's a shot of it mounted - due to the oversized capacitors, we had to face it down

My colleague and his friend decided to pull everything directly off the board on top, as they said that the signal from there was electrically the same as the PALB board

By the time we finished, it was already 1AM, so we didn't really have time to test much. When I got home, I tested it and believe I experienced the same issue as jamski68, due to the resistor on the input. The video was very dark. My colleague had told me that he wanted to follow the original diagram and that if we experienced the dark video, he would simply clip off the resistor.

With luck, we'll be able to meet again tonight to clip off the resistor. We should then have ample time to properly test out and tweak things.

I'll then get back to you guys with another update. :)
