Genki Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 I sure don't remember a metal switch box from Jags. AFAIK everyone stopped including metal switch box with the system when Nintendo came out with auto RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I usually keep AOL minimized. I don't know if the Jaguar had a metal switchbox or not. I just looked up the part number CA010112 and that part number is for the Jaguar switchbox.

+Mitch Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 OK, I did a bit more searching and I think I found what you are talking about. The Jaguar listing I found earlier was apparently just switchboxes that were compatible with the Jaguar. The one I think you are talking about is "The Atari Deluxe Switch Box" it has SWITCH BOX CAO10112 at one end of the label and it's metal. It has a both a 300 ohm and 75 ohm input and 300 ohm output. Does that sound like it? Apparently it wasn't sold with any console but was available in stores as an upgrade. It should work fine with the 2600.

Genki Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Archer... hmmm.. You got a Radio Shack branded RF switch box then. I think they are still available at some RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 OK, since a couple people asked. I scanned the picture from the Best Electronics catalog. I hope it's clear enough. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari70s Posted November 11, 2001 Author Share Posted November 11, 2001 dat de 1. mitch so this is for the jaguar or what was it originally made for ( all atari or for what system ) when was it first made this particular model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 I don't think it came with any system. It was probably sold seperately as an upgrade for any of the Atari systems. It should work fine with the 2600, 2 port 5200, 7800, and Jaguar. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 The switch I got with my Jaguar doesn't say "Jaguar" anywhere on it. It looks just like your picture Al, but where your's says "Jaguar automatic TV/Game Switch", mine says "Archer automatic TV/Game Switch". It sports a part # of 15-1267A. And this is definitely the one I got with my Jaguar. It's possible I got an early run of Jaguars, since I bought this thing almost as soon as it came out. Or perhaps it's another goofy thing they did in Canada.... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
