hookup

[TreetopFlyer]

Hi all,

I just dug out my old Atari 2600 from my parents basement. I wanted to try it out but
i can't figure out how to hook it up to modern day TV's. All it has is that old "slide-switch" thing you used to attach to the VHF screws.
How can I
play it??

I got a slide switch that had rca plugs instead of the antena hook up at radio shck. it
was cheap.

The best thing to do is get a F Type Male CATV to RCA Female adapter. This way
you can plug it directly into your TV's cable plug. You can buy them at electronics stores (radioCrap if you have to) for a couple bucks. Here's a pic of
one:

radiocrap
charges $6 for one of those plugs. i laughed at the store clerk and walked out. i went to an active components store and found them for between $1.25-2.50
depending on which model. there are several varieties of those plugs. i like the one that you just push in. the ones that have to be screwed in are too much
trouble sometimes to get it threaded right. especially in tight areas and when you can't see exactly what you're doing and have to feel you way around.
