Composite modding another Atari, because colors are hard

Back in 1978, I took a look at the Sears Tele-Games Pinball Breakaway, a rebadged version of Atari’s Video Pinball (the home version), whose chip was also us...

And the Pinball Breakaway is seemingly built for repairability; all the buttons not mounted to the PCB, the speaker, and the spinner all use detachable and color-coded connectors inside. I couldn’t find my electrolytics, so I decided to try with a ceramic capacitor (using the same THS7316 video amplifier, but since the Breakaway uses a 5V regulator, I just ran the amp at 5V), and I just got this output out of the Koryuu: That being said, the only improvement I was able to get in the color department was by snipping the lines leading to the RF modulator; at least this made things a little brighter, always nice.
