Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 96 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the excellent quality of the products, particularly the cables, noting their robust build and effectiveness. Many appreciate the reasonable pricing and the swift, efficient delivery service, often highlighting that items arrive well-packaged and as described. The company is frequently commended for providing hard-to-find items, making it a go-to source for specialized needs. However, some people mentioned occasional issues, such as an audio level being muted or not as loud as expected on certain cables. There were also isolated instances of incorrect sound channel output that required user modification. A few international customers also noted unexpected import taxes due to shipping restrictions, and in rare cases, delivery tracking numbers were not recognized by postal services.

I recently re-discovered my Amiga computers and scan converter which I had purchased to display my video tapes on an LCD TV. So all I needed to test my Amigas was a video lead....and Cool Novelties make leads for all sorts of pre-PC computers. An odd name for such a great supplier but don't dismiss them because their products are excellent.

Bought a Ferguson MC01 x 2 scart to RGB converter it works as long the Scart going in has RGB, it won’t work with composite video. Very pleased with it and keeping the spare one just in case. Many thanks

Being the only one offering the cable needed and it not only working PERFECTLY out of the box but also being shipped so quick and everything working so smoothly was a great experience!
