Recently I picked up a Pelican Pro switch box (and I love it!). It meets all of my gaming switchbox needs except for one.

How can I hook up multiple RF devices? I have an Atari 2600, an Intellivision, and an Atari Super Cycle. The best plan I've come up with is buying three of those RF > Coax Cable connectors, then buying a 3 or 4 way splitter and running them all into my VCR that way. Not the cleanest way, but I haven't figured out anything else yet.

Anyone else already done this?

I have the System Selector Pro as well. But only for newer system. I got three coax switch boxes from Radio shack for all the old old stuff. They work pretty well. They have three switchable inputs each. A/B/C Switchbox it is called.

Think about the way the signal is traveling through that Atari RF wire. It's really just the same as an RCA wire, right? Just use an RCA wire to go from the Atari to the pelican... then use an RCA to go from the pelican to that same rca-coax adapter you mentioned at the TV. Do the same with the other RF systems... it should work just fine. A signal is a signal so long as the routing switch handles it properly.
