Thanks for the help/advice. I just did a paint job on a Genny 1 tonight and an LED replacement. I'll put pics up tomorrow what it looks like after its ready to be reassembled. It's a nice Sonic Blue with the Genesis screen print, black ring, and 16-bit area intact. It looks pretty good IMO.
Anyways, I was able to find a pretty good guide, although somewhat basic. I definitely feel confident in doing a simple stereo mod on a Genny 1, because all it appears to be is a simple running wires process. And yes, I have soddered before, mainly with PC motherboards and what not, nothing console based.
The S-Video portion seems a little above my head at the moment, but I'll do a little more studying and hopefully have something in a month or so.
Here's the guide I found:
