So the original adapter/switchbox for the audio-video output for my Atari 2600 (this model) finally broke, and I'm looking into my options for where to go from here.

From what I can tell, the simplest solution is to purchase a female RCA-to-RF adapter and an A/B switch, since the RF output cable is built into system. However, I feel like there should be some other adapter that lets me use composite or S-video instead, but it seems like I would have to mod the system to do that, which, while not out of the question, I'd rather avoid.

For those Massassians more saavy with this sort of thing: do you have any suggestions?

you can buy brand new switchboxes for those old systems... it's designed like the old ones except it has the connector for non-ancient TVs built in

Can you link me to a place that sells such things? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Well, I gave you MY suggestions, but you didn't seem to appreciate them. In fact, I think the word you used was "asinine". *sniff*

See if I ever help you out again.

Considering your suggestions were to "sell it or dump it" I stand by what I did.

i'm not doing your shopping for you... google "atari switch"

Um, I asked because I couldn't find them myself. Using the google search parameters you gave me seem to just give back original switch boxes like my old one with nothing made for "non-ancient TVs" included. I confess, I'm not very good at searching, which is why I asked for help. If you'd rather not, that's fine, but I assure you, I wasn't asking out of laziness.

What? Just look at the Hidden Loots in plain sight thread. You could be sitting on money!!!
