ZX Spectrum and Koryuu

[Darren]

I just got my Koryuu today and I LOVE how the S-Video and even Composite looks. I have been using one of the cheap video converters from Amazon for several years for composite.

I connected the following via composite (and also S-Video where noted):
Commodore 64 NTSC (+SVid)
Commodore 64 PAL (+SVid)
Atari 800XL NTSC (+SVid)
Atari 2600 Jr NTSC
TI-99/4A NTSC

All displayed fine.

I hooked up the following ZX Spectrums, all PAL and all via composite:
Issue 1
Issue 2
Issue 3

The Issue 3 displayed fine. The Issue 1 & 2 looked like this:
ZX Spectrum Issue 2 and Koryuu (bad)

When I connected them to my cheap Amazon converter, they displayed correctly:
ZX Spectrum Issue 2 and Koryuu (good)

This is not a huge deal as I don’t use the Spectrum that often, but it would be nice to use the Koryuu for all of my composite sources. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you for any help.

Can you try cleaning the composite video connector on the speccy with contact cleaner for electronics/Isopropyl Alcohol? That is about all I can think to try.
