Fuzzy screen atari or rf switch?

[Atarian7]

Up until 2 days ago my picture was crystal clear. Now it is fuzzy with any game i put in. Can this be a problem with the rf switch or is it the atari?

Thanks for any help.

Very likely the RF switch.

It certainly CAN be an RF switch... I've seen some that make the screen very fuzzy indeed. On the other hand, I have one Atari (and it's an honest-to-God heavy sixer) that is fuzzy no matter what I use to connect it to the TV. I've also switched out the cable (which is very easy to do once you open the Atari up) and even that didn't help the problem.

 

Hopefully, in your case, it's just a matter of using a better RF switch or, even better, a direct coaxil-to-RF cable converter (either one should be for sale at your local Radio Shack)

Thanks. I tried a direct connector and the picture is clear again. I'm glad it wasn't the atari.
