I need all cables and cords needed to play an Atari 2600 on a modern television.
Thanks.

I hate to say this but go to radio shack and ask for a UHF/VHF to Coax converter.

Part #278-255 at the Radio Shack. It plugs into the cord coming out of the 2600 and screws right into your RF thingy. No switchbox required.

It's funny how you assume I'm excluding the power cord.

Last I checked, you don't need a power cord to hook an Atari up to a TV, you need it to turn on the console. Next time try to be a little more specific with what you're asking.

But you do need a power cord to play a 2600 on a modern TV. Also, if you get a connector like that, I don't think you can play it on anything bigger than a 27" without it working. My 32" couldn't play it since It's under-powered I guess

I would suggest performing an A/V mod on the Atari 2600.

Please, show me an unmodded Atari 2600 with no power source running on a modern television. I will give you the god damned Nobel Prize.

Anyone?

Ok.

And I was just saying you should be more specific and not assume we can figure out what you need. How about we drop it now and see if project_failure can help you out.

to clarify you said all hookups needed to play on a modern tv you did not say all hookups needed to power the atari and hook it to a TV, being specific helps us help you and flaming people who are trying to help is generally speaking NOT a good thing.

I didn't flame, I used sarcasm. Is sarcasm NOT a good thing too?

And seriously, I clearly stated "ALL HOOK-UPS".
