Setting up my amiga

[SIR-GERMAN]

I have not play with my Amiga 4000 since 2005 , the year I got married , anyway I feel that is time to set up my Amiga 4000 with a crt tv so I have a few questions .

1) before I put the 4000 away , I remember that the battery was leaking so I remove the battery I snapped it with some pliers  , I guess I have to do some welding , what kind of battery does it take ?

2) I think i have a  device to connected to the tv,  is not a Commodore: A520 but something similar with chroma luma , so I need a cable chroma luma to s-video , any idea where to get it ?

1. You don't need the battery, it's only used for clock, unless you want clock on your system.
2. Chroma-Luma is Svideo, do you have 2 RCA connections or standard SVideo socket on you TV board. Pictures?

I have a normal tv with s-video , but the Amiga modulator has chroma luma outlets , so I need a cable chroma luma to s-video.
Now that i remember the modulator and the Amiga keyboard wont fit at the same time , because the modulator is too wide , I was thinking of buying a cable to extend the modulator , any idea what cable do I need ?

Because you are from Germany, get old/second hand LCD-TV with scart connector, they are cheap as dirt With it you can get solid/rock steady, flicker free hi-res picture.

I am not from Germany , just the old USA

You'd need a DB23 extension(male<->female) cable.

any idea where to get it ?
