hi!

ihave done a mod on a Jr. now.

is it possible to use the atari without those metalshields? it would be a little tricky to implement them again

what are they for by the way

they are just shielding for when you have it hooked up through RF. It's not really needed if you do the composite mod.

really? all this metal stuff just for the RF thing?

Yep.

If you still have the RF box attached, hook the 2600 up through that and play a game without the shielding. You should see why it's needed.
