atari-dna Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 There’s a single screw on the back, behind the Velcro. Then it’s just pressure fit. Use a toothpick around the seam to separate the halves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari-dna Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Atari provides Velcro so you could mount the box against the rear of your television. The screw is dead center in that rectangle. Same size as a 5200 cartridge screw. o ok i thought about that but couldnt feel it through the velco also what is the velcro for anyway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari-dna Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The 2600 concept won’t work, impedance is incorrect, among other problems o ok i thought about that but couldnt feel it through the velco also what is the velcro for anyway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 The 2600 concept won’t work, impedance is incorrect, among other problems Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So there's no way at all to plug another console in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari-dna Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It’s a 300ohm input for an external antenna. The 2600 is at 75ohms. I don’t think it’s feasible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
