Atari 5200 channel selector switch

[ChloeKatie]

Does anyone have a schematic of the 4 port 5200 perticularly how to bypass the channel selector switch?

 

Thanks

I've looked at these several times, however I am unable to find the switch.

Ah, I believe the RF Modulator in the 5200 is also used in the 400/800, so you might want to look at the schematics for those systems to see how it's hooked up.

Sorry, but the switch I am talking about is in the 5200 itself on the right rear (as looking from the front) with the square and circle settings. I got this off eBay and the switch was missing. I replaced it with one from radio shack and it didn't work. I'm not sure if the wire was too thick or not, but I wanted to jumper it to channel three directly. I wanted to look at the schematics to see what to wire, before doing it blind.

 

Thanks

Ah, okay. The middle contact and the one to the right (toward the middle of the board) are connected when the switch is in the channel 3 position. The middle contact and the one to the left are connected for channel 2.
