more 2600 questions

[kevin242]

Okay I picked up a 2600 recently and yesterday I was able to buy a

few games for it. The carts I have are all "sears telegames" and I

picked up 2 driving ctrl's. Anyway, I just realised that I donot have the

original Atari power supply or switchbox. I may be able to cook up a

PS because I have a box full of Atari PS's and one of them should work,

but I don't think I have any of the RF Switchboxes. Anyone know if the

Jaguar RF connector will work (it does not feature a switch) ???

Radio Shack still sells them new.

Yup...but RCA/F adapters give a cleaner signal (and are cheaper anyway).

I'm afraid it won't. Older systems like the Atari and ColecoVision don't put out a strong enough signal to trigger the automatic RF switches. You have to use a manual switch. Like Stingray said, you can still get them new at Radio Shack.

I agree, if you don't mind plugging in and unplugging the cord from the back of the TV when you want to play the adapter does give a better picture.
