In this article I talk about the 2600RGB – Video upgrade kit for Atari 2600, I acquired in etim online shop, your store creator, the Australian Tim Worthington.
I mentioned here in Skooter Blog about Atari 2600 I got to install the 2600RGB, and so obtain a clean image and with excellent colors using the original hardware Atari 2600, No Emulation.
I have also talked about how I converted this Atari 2600 back to the NTSC color system, and I left it ready for installation of the 2600RGB.
A few days later came the 2600RGB, check out the pictures of the items that make up:

As the Brazilian postal service is one of the worst in the world, the only available is the shipping “Australia Post – Standard International”, It is more expensive and is supervised in Rio de Janeiro, like other priority freight. The package was not taxed and the delivery was very fast, with 15 calendar days in total.

Friend u know if the plaque is right on the Atari board with polivox?
It does not work, TIA the position of the plate allows Polyvox not engage the plaque, she esbarraria switches in SELECT and RESET.
So it's more a matter of space even? in theory it is compatible? I ask because if would to come up with some type of extender. Thank you.
Yes, Electrically it is compatible. The very Tim Worthington replied to make sure that when I asked, but mechanically it does not fit on board. An extension is possible, would have to be wired to connect 40 TIA terminals and leave little sign elsewhere, and hope that this extra distance does not degrade a signal as to make it unusable.
Cool, It would be an interesting way for us we possess the model polivox, Thank you for the explanation Skooter.
I was left with this same doubt. Someone out there ventured to try making the socket extender?
