Great, thanks Rene, that helps a lot!
I hope you don't mind a few more questions :S
Here's the list of parts I've got so far based on previous posts, I'm planning on getting my items from Reichelt in Germany (since I use them for a lot of my C64 projects) and can combine an order.

Could you take a quick glance over these parts ?

---------------------------
Next, to get the 12v line for scart (as I'm really worried some of my old TV's might need it), I tried reading up on how to achieve that and several googles later, I found this part:
TMA 0512S Traco Power DC/DC converter, TMA series, 5/12 V DC
https://www.reichelt.de/index.html?ACTION=3;ARTICLE=120444;SEARCH=TMA%200512SWould adding this simply do the trick, or is there anything to considder to add as not to mess up current etc?
---------------------------
Scart resistors?
Cable -> I already have a lot of Tasker cable here to choose from of other projects, but I'll be sure to make a final list of what I used to other's can perhaps see what I used.
SEC 20 21-pin scart plug for round cable
If I read correctly other websites.. this mod requires a straight forward pin to pin scart connection, no other resistors are required within the scart cable ?
---------------------------
And last question (sorry for asking so many) .. Connectors ?
I noticed in one of your posts elsewhere also the mention of correct DIN-8 plugs and connectors..
For C64 I would typically use horseshoe-shaped DIN8 connectors (MAS 80S and MAB 8S) which I realise would work, but would not be normal for Videopac that uses the round connector. So I assumed that (MAS 80SN and MAB 8SN) would be correct.
However then noticed a page where you mentioned a very specific board connector for the G7400; MAB-8-SH from Hirschmann. so I decided to have a look at that, since I also have two G7400 (one of mine, and one of a friend) which could do with a RGB upgrade (info's taken from your other posts)
As Reichelt does not have the MAB-8-SH I decide to go to Hirschmann's website and look at who sells their plugs, and then I discovered there are two type of MAB-8-SH.
MAB 8 SH - product number 931 399-
500
https://www.e-catalog.beldensolutions.com/link/57078-24228-256281-256282-24384-24385-24386-34517/en/conf/0
Difference:
Contact bearer material PBT/UL standard 94 V-0
Housing material PBT/UL standard 94 V-0
and
MAB 8 SH - product number 931 399-
200
https://www.e-catalog.beldensolutions.com/link/57078-24228-256281-256282-24384-24385-24386-39340/en/conf/0
Difference:
Contact bearer material PS-I/UL standard 94 HB
Housing material PS-I/UL standard 94 HB
Will both versions work for the Videopac, or is it wiser to go for the -200 or -500 version?
And second questions related to the DIN connector.. I am now puzzled, thinking there were only 2 types or DIN-8 plug (round of horseshoe) I actually saw a thread elsewhere mentioning a third type of connector.
Which makes me wonder, if I go with the MAB 8 SH, will regular round-shaped 8-pin din plug work?
For example, MAB 8SN - DIN socket, 8-pin, circular
If that is a yes, then for the G7000 I am guessing (MAS 80SN - DIN connector, 8-pin, circular) would be the best choice so that the cables for the G74000 will match as well.
But if it is no, then I am puzzled.
thanks a lot in advance,
Tim
