PC Engine on a USA TV

I've had my PC Engine work in the past on my TV, I can't get it to work right now. Tried the usual tricks, all the channels from 90 to 99, just some garbled output.

Short of getting an RGB mod (which I would love, for S-Video and or component output), any suggestions?

Also, if I don't feel like doing the RGB mod myself, anyone know of a good place to get it done?

Does the PCE have the same expansion connector as the TurboGrafx? On that are a few pins with L/R audio and composite video.

I didn't think about the expansion connector. I found this pinout diagram : http://www.gamesx.com/misctech/pcebp.php

I have a Supergun for my NEO, so I could probably wire up the sync / RGB to it.

It would seem like it since they are the same hardware but with different outward cosmetic console shell designs. There are plently of pins when using such an optional NEC produced Turbo Booster or Turbo Booster Plus accessory. Should be fun hacking it to extract such useful and glorious RGB. ^_~

Assuming that you have a classic white PC-Engine, there is an official piece of equipment called the A/V Booster which will allow you to use standard A/V cables to hook up your system.
