Luma bypass boards for use only with the Commodore 16/+4/64/128 RFOFF.

This is only for people who have already installed an RFOFF and want to add the luma bypass board. Be sure to select the correct option for your machine otherwise you risk damaging the VIC-II or TED.

Install

Remove the VIC-II/TED, install the luma bypass board and insert the VIC-II/TED into the bypass board - be sure the notches on the sockets and chip are aligned. Connect the mini coax cable from the bypass board to the RFOFF, and remove the luma bypass solder blob on the RFOFF so the luma bypass jumper is OPEN.

Note as the bypass board adds some height, it may not be possible to reinstall the original heatsink. It is highly recommended to add a new heatsink to the VIC-II/TED (and VDP on the 128) if you haven't already.

Please note the bypass board is intended to be installed in the original VIC-II/TED socket. If you are building a replica machine you must install a dual wipe socket - do not solder the bypass board directly to the mainboard.

**EU shipping is currently unavailable due to new duties that came into effect on July 1st. Australia Post is updating their systems to handle these changes but as of the 8th of July EU shipping is still unavailable. They haven't given an ETA and there's little I can do but wait, apologies for the inconvenience.**

In order to comply with customs requirements all items regardless of size are sent as a parcel (small box), however there is no extra shipping charge for multiple items. I am not able to send anything as a letter as Australia Post does not allow this for commercial goods. All orders are shipped with tracking usually within 2 business days.
