Good cable (Mega Drive 1 SCART cable with stereo jack). All okay except that their cable swap MD sound channels (the right is on the left,the left is on the right). Just to be clear that was not my tv, I tested my MD with a pair of headphones directly connected to the MD and the channels where they should be -You can use the game OUT-RUN to test it-. I mentioned this to them and I received a reply like “impossible cables are tested before being shipped.Send back for refund” so, I sent it back (bought through Amazon).But well…maybe was my bad luck so I tried again throuhht Coolnovelties website. Same result. What I did? I opened de cable after do some reseach on internet about which one was pin 1 on the scart, which one was left or right cable,which one was for video, etc (not a technician) and soldered the cables by myself (not a great soldering). The cable now sounds as it should. Sent an email with pictures explaining what I did, what was wrong and also added that would be great to have a cable for free with a pro soldering following my notes (After all, I gave them free advice about cable’s problem) Remember, wasn’t in a specific cable ,this was cable number two).You can add that I wasted time sending enails, going and coming to return a cable that was NOT okay from the start. They expressed their happiness knowing that the cable is working as it should be. end… nothing else,nada. So well ,if you buy a cable for Mega Drive 1 and works okay ,is thanks to me.
Answering your comment:
Dear Coolnovelties:
I am not “unhappy” with the cable (which is well build as I had to open it….even is shielded!). Not at all.
Regarding the sound issue…. look, If I connect headphones were each side is marked as R and L and the sound is reproduced correctly (okay ,MD jacket is NOT the issue)then I tested it on TWO different TVs. Same in BOTH. how can It be? How do you test if it works okay (Talking about sound swapped as sound per se works perfect) Which game do you use? I use OUTRUN for example.

Good quality cables, delivered in good time. Will definitely use again!

Easy website to use. Purchase came very promptly. Pleased with the coasters.

Yet another great experience with Cool Novelties.

Very fast delivery to Germany.
Less than a week.
But the costs for customs are annoying.

Nice to find a company that does the techy things I want. Product was good and worked well. Well done.

Good quality components and nicely produced cables. Sensibly packed to go through the letterbox. Now installed and definitely an improvement on my previous cables.

Reference number that was sent to me on e-mail was wrong.
Tried it for more than a week again and again to check it(using the link coolnovelties provided me to do the tracking).
Royal mail did not accept the reference number as valid.
Sent an e mail to the company and never got a reply.
Product is paid and still NOT received.
Why should I give them any stars?
In fact what they deserve is a zero star grade.
Update.
Received the item today.(Around two weeks after the order was made)
Second reference number I was sent was working as expected
( but only after I posted a negative review.)
Haven't test the item yet(very little time available )but I believe it will be smooth.

I recently acquired an Amiga 500. I tried using the modulator which was horrible. Looked up cables and found these guys to say the quality of the image was better than expected is an understatement. The cable feels really good, The condition was excellent and the craftsmanship is spot on, value for money is great and the appearance of the cable is very good and well presented thank you very much you exceeded my expectations. I feel 14 again!!

Der Versand, das Produkt vollkommen ok! Nicht OK ist, dass auf Anfragen per E-Mail nicht geantwortet wird. Schade …:(

Well they had exactly the cable I needed for my ST as it is an older model with no syncing on for composite, otherwise I would have had lovely sound on my ST and could type blindly whilst looking at a grey screen, which isn't fun.

Easy purchase. Fast shipping. Would buy again.

Quick and Easy, arrived in not time.

Very good website easy to navigate.
RGB Scart Cable for the Atari Falcon 030 is working very well with a clear stable picture and good sound.
Very good build quality.

Very quick response from the company, reasonably priced spare parts for a retro game, complete information about what happens after ordering the product, which came in about week, perfect!

As I am in Canada 🇨🇦, I will say I wasn't sure about ordering from the United Kingdom.
The ordering process was easy, the company kept in communication which is valuable to a customer. Although shipping took a little longer than expected, the parts arrived as described. Thanks CoolNovelties.
