Game switchboxes - nonautomatic

[ddockery]

Can someone point me to a site where I can buy the non-automatic switchboxes cheap? I've found the newer automatic ones for $2, but I can't find the older ones, needed for older systems, at a decent price. Also, I have a lot of the older switchboxes, but they are mnissing the connectors that hook into the TV, antenna, or both. If I could just buy those parts that would be great too. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Drew

Yes, I'm aware that Radio Shack sells them, but I said I was looking for a decent price, not to get gouged on them. $6 is hardly a good deal. I need at least 10 of these, so I need a nice price.

I'd check some of the larger dollar stores, if you have such a thing in the states. They used to carry Chateau brand RF switches around here for years at a buck each.

I'd be careful around the dollar store type area. The stuff they get are either rejected stuff, leftovers that didn't sell a few years ago, etc. There's always a chance the RF switch box that turns up at a dollar store doesn't meet FCC regs.

I did have some good deals there as well. The best was a shitload of 2600 games (all red boxes) from a dollar store in a mall on 8 Miles Rd. in Detroit. They had games like Solaris, Secret Chambers, Moon Patrol, etc. I picked up some. Too bad it was years ago (10 maybe) when Atari was still an old plaything and not a collector item in my view or I would probably have cleaned them out. >:(

I picked up a few from Walmart several weeks ago. They were - oh - $3 or $4 apiece, as I remember it. Hope this helps! :D ;)
