Excellent cables
Have bought two scart cables (one Atari ST amd one BBC Micro and both have performed perfectly. Better, in fact than another well know Retro cable supplier in the UK.

Fantastic rapid servce
Fantastic rapid servce as usual. Been purchasing cables for work purposes from CoolNovelties for some years now and never had an issue. Most recent order was turned around seemingly overnight and delivered with the usual excellent packaging and levels of workmanship. Long may it continue.

BBC Micro RGB Scart Cable with audio connector
The cable was dispatched and delivered quickly and in good condition. It gives a crisp, rock steady display from my veteran BEEB on a modern flat screen TV. Audio level output seemed a bit muted at first but cleaning the output jack on my machine sorted it. Overall it's a great addition to my setup.
