Thanks a lot! I was afraid that the cord coming from the atari was supposed to be permanently attached to the switch box the way a nintendo RF box looks. I have an RF modulator... for hooking up several different things to a TV, I will try to hook it up that way. I will come back and let you all know if it works.

Well, I tried to purchase an Atari on eBay. The seller said he tested it and it worked..... however, when it arrived in the box at my house - the box sounded like the one Jim Carrey banged around in Ace Ventura. He had included no packing material. In hopes that it hadn't been broken, I made an attempt to connect it to the TV. But, I can't figure out how.... the original RF hookup that he included is clearly messed up - which he denies it was like that when he sent it. But, the Atari has one wire coming out of it with what looks like an a/v plug - just one, not two as normally seen. So, how do I get this thing hooked up? And I turned it on, but since it's not hooked up - I guess there's no way of seeing if it actually is on. I don't know anything about Atari.. I bought it for my boyfriend - it's supposed to be a surprise, but I don't want to give him a broken POS. Who can fix this Atari for me? Right now, I feel like my money is down the drain.
