I am this old as well but there's a reason I always have a screwdriver handy
Oh ye with a weak thumbnail!
My brother/sister thank you, that takes me back. Had the og Nintendo going through that
I have that exact model with my 2600!
crumbles into dust
I modified my 2600 to have composite output instead. It also slightly improves the video quality
I feel simultaneously seen and called out.
Jeez. You old! Damn, me too. Nowadays such a device would be 79,99 ans surely sold separately. Without cables of course.
As far as I remember that thing came with the 2600, no?
Before my time but I did run across these as a kid. Even played a few games, too.
What channel would you use? I always used channel three and swore channel four gave a worse signal.
In my area channel 4 had a TV station on it and channel 3 didn't, so channel 3 was the available default for these things.
That explains the slight interference I was getting. There must have been a signal just in range to scramble things but not close enough to see or hear. Our stations were on 12, 6 and 10 and you could get PBS on 32 on UHF.
Came here to post this.
Beat me to it. Life got really good when I could upgrade from the small kitchen B/W set to a color one.
I seem to remember the NES having a similar splitter?
This was the only thing station included up till and including the fucking Jaguar.
Came here to say the same
