[atari 2600 six switch and black vader problem]

With these sytems there was never switch boxes just an rf lead. could be a number of reasons. first let the system run for a while might not of been used in ages and picture might clear up. secondly whilst system is running move the rf lead around if the picture is going stupid whilst doing this you have a bogus lead just rplace it. with the vader and six switchers, if you open up the console you will find that the rf lead just plugs into the main board. can easily be replaced hope this helps. from astro.
