You can replace the RF cable if you open up the atari, it just plugs in using an RCA plug. You could also just cut the bad part off and re-terminate the cable with an F connector.
He has a light sixer.
The cable is not permanently attached if you open up the unit you can unplug it from the board and replace it!
I bought the Sears video arcade #2 back in the 1980s,years ago. It was a black wedge with a curved top and bottom. The joysticks and paddles were combined. I like the look of it better than the fake wood grain model Atari. I think it was cheaper than the Colecovision Atari add on.
I just bought a factory sealed 4 switch wood grain off eBay. It has the Atari logo on it. With a JC Penny’s price tag sticker.
The 2600 Junior has a removable RF cable. I didn't realise the cartridge slot wasn't as deep on the 4 switch.
Actually, once you open the system, you can easily remove the RF cable from the inside. It's plugged in like a standard RCA cable is.
I think someone modified your six switch and failed. I have a six switch and it has the same video cable end as the 4 switch.
+Red031796 Yup. They both used the uninsulated RCA plug. That connected to the TV/Computer switch.
You can easily open up the game. The permanently attached video cable is just plugged into the motherboard with the same uninsulated RCA plug that is on the other end. You can use a regular audio cable (red, white or yellow).
At least that's the way they made the 4-switch console.
Sears was rebranded -- made by Atari. They even had Video Arcade II, like the 2600 lite
I have versions of all but think I prefer the 4 switch woodgrain.
My 6 switch unit I had when I was a kid had the same video cable tip that your 4 switch unit has. And yes we had the little RF switch box with the two little prongs that came off the flat wire from the other side.
atari made the sears version
