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 f... See more

Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service. These guys made a cable up that was unavailable elsewhere. And sent out same day for next day delivery. Cable was of very high quality and delivered a superb picture between my Atari 8 bid and a modern lcd screen.

Absolutely brilliant
Absolutely brilliant! I asked for two custom cables to plug retro computers and consoles into an equally retro Ferguson MC01 TV/monitor. I provided a service manual for the TV, which had DIN inputs for TTL RGB/analogue RGB and composite video, as well as providing further information from TV repair engineers, including the one who refurbished said TV for me. CoolNovelties took all of that information, along with their knowledge, taking a great deal of care with this. The cables are well made, and they work perfectly!
The cables are now on sale on their website for anyone who may need them.
Highly recommended. Thank you.

Bought about 10 or so cables from these folks.
Cheaper than the rest and they work.
Another well known competitor in the North West was very rude when I asked a question.
I will always used them and have just ordered a Vic 20 AV cable from them since this purchase !
