Bandridge Scart Selector

[Zeromemory]

Since I don't really need more than 3 inputs for now, is this worth it?

Does anyone has the experience with this model so that can share experience and tell me about the quality of it?

I guess that SVB7735 is the same, only with 5 inputs.

Any alternatives in the same price range?

• Self powered, no additional power unit needed
• Power adapter included

Something's not quite right...

the automatic requires power while the manual does not. They just messed up the description.

that's not a bad deal for one. Its an OK switch.

If it's anything like the 5 port version I'd avoid it.

The 5 port version is hit or miss. Some revisions work perfectly, some don't. Maybe I'm lucky, but I got a revision that works perfectly, with no interference between inputs and no reduction in brightness.

In few words, which would be the main difference between self powered and adapter powered one, regarding video quality?

Have two of the 5 port manual ones (bought about 1 year apart); they both work perfectly.

Also have a 5-port manual one as well that works great. I found the key to quality isn't the switch, but rather the patch cable used. The seller I bought mine off of on ebay included a SCART Male to Male/patch cable that had a ton off crosstalk resulting in a lot of buzzing on the audio channels. I verified the cable was wired correctly and ended up buying a high quality SCART patch cable from retro_console_accessories on ebay. This fixed all issues and there is no discernible drop in quality using the switch now.

My issues are with the automatic Bandridge switch. The seller I bought mine from has the same last name as the eBay seller, but the parcel came from a city that is a few km away from the one that's shown on eBay. Probably the same person though.

Mine is the automatic one, haven't had any issues. Fingers crossed that the second one that I bought from the same guy (which is stopping off with a third party before it gets to me) a bit later will be the same revision.

Hi there, I picked up a bandridge scart selector from a chap in the netherlands and it's been great, csync/luma sync signals work just fine and no power leaking from one input to another, but I did run into one issue with a bad scart lead on the tv out producing noise.

I dug out a spare scart cable after and the noise had disappeared so what I could do with is some advice/recommendations on quality scart to scart cables, around 0.75-1m for purchase in the UK.

Oh, and since this is my first post, I just wanted to say thanks to all those who contribute to this forum, it's been a fantastic resource.
