Hello...

New to this group, so if this question has been asked before, please humour
me :)

I was wondering if anyone here knows a way around using the game/tv
switchboxes that the Intellivision (and Atari's) use in order to still make
use of my old gaming systems. It's getting very difficult these days to
play those good ol' games on the newer TV's which don't offer the VHF/UHF
connections any longer. Any suggestions... anyone????

Please help if you can... having a serious desire to play Tron Deadly Discs,
or SNAFU... or Sea Battle these days. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Indeed. Pop on in to your local Radio Shack and look for F to phono
adapters.

That's what you're looking for. Takes the RCA cable output cable from your
Inty or Atari and converts it into a standard coax that'll hook straight
into your TV's cable input.
