Howdy all,
    Say a while back(as in years) I found a site were a guy ripped out the RF, A/V, and power box from a old NES model 1.  He built a small board that just had the power converter and the A/V out from it removing the RF all together.  The site is now long gone and i have wanted to try this now that i have a few spare NES's to work on.
     So.  Does anyone have a idea what would be needed to do this mod?  I'm great at following directions if anyone could give me the info needed, I.E. partslist, and how to wire it up on a new board.  
     Also i would still like to use the old power brick if possible, but i remember reading somewhere that the RF need more juice than the NES.  If it is possible to use a smaller power brick that would be great.  
     The whole idea for this mod is to get everything inside the NES if anyone is wondering. I just hate haveing everyting all over the place for cables and power.  Thanks for any help anyone can give!

I think most people that have done this would do it to fit it into a much smaller nes case. I otherwise do not know why you would do this, but...

There are 5 solder points that connect the rf block to the mainboard. From left to right with the (W) on the left you have Video, Audio, And +4.5v. The other 2 pins are for the rf. There is an area of silver looking plating which is your -4.5v. Your video may need amplified.
