[@fastfords9072]

I agree hes awesome!! Very knowledgeable

[@NinjAaaron87]

11 years later and this video is still helping folks out. Appreciate it!

[@bombquest726]

back when Radio Shack was not dead

[@kevindewaynelowe]

I am 33 and gamed from NES and up. Got 25 consoles now and you taught what I needed to know Thanks.

[@nickthecoolguy3807]

I’d got to radio shack if they were open lol

[@petergerner4406]

Great video! I am struggling to hook up an old console to an old tv set. This answered all my questions!

[@NotAJosh]

Just bought one, the cord on the system is a RCA cable(first used in 1940s for RCA’s record players). You can get two adapters for like 5 bucks on Amazon. Also make sure you tune your TV to channel 3

[@raydenwilson7666]

Can’t find the rf interference filter like in the video

[@deadlycreature3359]

thanks for the tips i just bought another one since i was a kid

[@kevinjones807]

Dude, great video. Thank you

[@taylordesmarais4690]

[@DGarcia879]

I can't get mine to work. I used a avi video cable(the one that is yellow) but no results. Guess in need the black rca cable I guess

[@guyfanno1]

[@ninacava3929]

[@loiswilliams7305]

I found the part at Radio Shack for less than $10.00 dollars Amazon to high and didn't have the right one

[@Jaketendo]

My mother's Atari 2600 has switchboxes, but they won't be any help XD. That's why I came to you. Thanks!

[@daytondawson027]

Thanks I just got one. This really helps. I just need the cords

[@PascalMaramis]

I got one now... and thanks for a clear explanation ;-)

[@familygamingnight8114]

Cool thank you

[@HighFidelityFox]

I had no idea the TV could interpret the analog signal from RF in. Found an atari in my house and was trying to find out how to use it. Thanks

[@goldbunny1973]

Interesting. I have an ATARI 2600 and it has a long tv aerial line, not a phono jack plug nor does it have screw thread so whilst this is good advice I'm sure for *some people* it apparently doesn't cover all models. Thought I'd mention this so that if people have one of the many (7?) 2600 model variations they don't pull their hair out trying to follow your advice. Nice video though.

[@elioralon8226]

thank you very much you help me with the conactors

[@spencerh8426]

Great video! Keep up the good work! 😄

[@Leald1]

Tks man, 4 saving me time! Defender is in my DNA tks to 7Eleven! lol

[@UtopianMagic1408]

[@pkicker]

[@dekusi1857]

@@achilles8119 for real, they were so nice to just have like a dedicated electronics store lmao. now it's like ... your best bet is amazon, which is always hit or miss :(

pacman one of the games responsible for the video game crash of 1983. one of the worst games on the system and you called it amazing

[@bickuribox12]

Eh, this video's older. "Pretty awesome" was a term I threw around because I think old games are cool in general. It's far from the worst Atari game, anyway. It's straightforward, and plays fine.

[@cameroncole342]

let me rephrase one of the worst big name games for the 2600. also good video short and to the point

[@bickuribox12]

Thanks, good to know it holds up
