gcomp Automatic 8:2 Component / Composite switch

This gcomp v5.2 automatic 8:2 component/composite switch was purchased a few years ago from CastleMania Games. It has remained unused in my collection and is in essentially brand-new condition.

The unit may show some very light scuffs on the bottom acrylic panel from careful storage and occasional movement in a drawer, but these are minor cosmetic marks only, no functional impact, and the overall presentation is pristine. Please use the pictures to determine the condition for yourself. 

Optional Custom Dust Shield Add-On: If you'd like, I can 3D print and install a dust shield for this unit before shipping. Just select the option at checkout, and I'll follow up via message with available color choices to match your setup. Here is a link to the STL that I can print for you for your reference. 

The details below are sourced directly from CastleMania Games listing (I'm not affiliated with them) and are included here for reference only:

If you plan to use composite functionality:

TVs with shared Composite / Y RCA plug (Yellow / Green): connect the composite source to the green input and connect the green output to the yellow/ green plug of your TV. Depending on your TV model you may have to use a remote to switch to Composite/ Component mode.

TVs with independent Composite yellow and green RCA ports: connect the audio RCA outputs to TV in the usual way but use the additional separate RCA lead for composite (Yellow) output. You will likely have to use the TV remote to switch to composite/ component mode. If you have separate stereo audio inputs for component/ composite TV inputs you will have to use additional 1:2 RCA splitters (not provided).

Full audio / video input protection has been added to minimize the damage when incompatible equipment is connected. Please take into account that protection won’t make all the faulty cases work, it’s there just to protect the hardware.

Features (v5.2):

• 8 inputs
• 2 outputs
• Simultaneous output support
• Design with focus on video quality
• Automatic switching based on sync (Y / Composite)
• HD signal supported (up to 1080p)
• Integrated video amplifier
• EXT header support to query / override enabled input
• Full audio / video input protection
• PSU polarity & overvoltage protection
• Externally powered by USB (standard MicroUSB +5V connector)
• High quality universal power supply is included

SUPERGUN WARNING:

Any SUPERGUN conversion (or arcade mods in general) will permanently damage the switch. 

POWER CONNECTOR WARNING:

The micro USB port is a is surface mounted and if you apply too much force or step on it, it might detach. This is not a soldering problem as the connector is usually torn with a few PCB pads.
