Im trying to connect my CDTV to a modern LCD tv with SCART cable...

well you could modify that one, provided it has enough wires.

each lead has its separate ground wire. But the amiga video connector does not have trough hole for connector pins. the back plate is completely solid, apart from the pins already casted in the plastic.

or perhaps borrow one from audio if tv is not stereo. also sometimes it has multiple GND wires.

stereo audio, out of the question.

But in total i can free 3 wires from other grounding signals...
but i would need a new 23 pin connector for amiga video port...

by component, you mean YPbPr? Amiga has only RGB component out, you'd need 'complex' adapter to connect it to YPbPr.

yes. it has YPbPr component inputs.
what kind of adapter is needed?

so, you are missing pins on 23DB connector? they are hard to find, people usually hack the 25pin.
3 wires is more than enough, you just need couple of right resistors, depending which voltage you choose. there are schematics on net.
forget YPbPr, it is not worth the hassle or money.

if you never soldered before or don't have a friend who does it, I'd just buy another cable, they should be cheap nowadays. ask seller for schematics or some guarantee.

Yes... no pins. and the plastic backplate is not even drilled for pins.

i do however have the 23 - 15 pin vga connector for my 1942 monitor..
if i could make something with that without making it useless on my a1200 or the 1942. i could use it.... cant i?
