Also, make sure they put 220uf 16V caps on the RGB lines inside the N64 since there is a 5v bias on all three which will harm the input circuitry on the monitor. I have a SNES and N64 both happily running on a KX1901, but the north american version doesn't have a SCART connector, rather a header connector that was a monster to work with.

If this doesn't work, you'll need a sync separator such as an LM1881 which is simple to build up.
Thanks for the info.

I'll try everything mentioned and report back once I have some results.

I think this applies only to sets sold in France... here in Italy the SCART socket wasn't mandatory and many sets were still made without a SCART socket as late as the mid 90s

I think the SCART socket was introduced in 1978 not 1975 anyway...
