Rowsdower70 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I've got the co-ax adapters, but I need a couple of RF cables if anyone has spares. Id be happy to pay you for them, or perhaps trade for something in my list on the trading post. Thanks!

Did you know you could use any extra RCA cables you have laying around, not mater what the color?

Rowsdower70 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Well no, I didn't...but now I feel rather silly. Do I run it into the AV input on the TV or does it need to have the coax converter and run through the coax connection?

RickR Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 They do work, but can have more interference. Especially the lower quality ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Do you have any spares Rick? "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 RF cables? I'll take a look in my cables box when I get home from work. I've used the rca cables as above, but it helps to find the thicker, gold plated ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Gotcha, I'll see if I have any. "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yeah, I forgot. Quality does vary by cables, but they do work!

Atari Adventure Square Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I bought an RF (in) -to- Coaxial (out) gold-plated adaptor at Radio Shack a few years back. It worked well enough with my Intellivision. Plugged the console directly from the console in to the adapter and into the telly's coaxial input. Tried it then on my WEGA. I wonder if it works with my current big screen 50" LED? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I was able to snag a pile of good RCA cables from Goodwill, with the adapters I already had they worked perfectly. The 7800 is up and running like a charm.

RickR Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 When I'm at goodwill, if I remember, I check the cables bin to see if there's any high quality AV cables. I've gotten a few Monster branded ones that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
