    Pretty simple really,just search for Atari Video Adapter and many will pop up on ebay.
    Also any place that sells electronics should have them they are called 'F' Jack (Coaxial) to Phono adapters,heres a gold one from radioshack.

    Hope this helps.

    But,

    That's only good if your TV has an analog tuner in it.

    If it doesn't then you'll need to mod your game system with a composite video or s-video output.

    I have not seen ONE TV without an analog tuner. I doubt that's going to happen.

    Besides, they have Composite NTSC/PAL inputs, you can always get a VCR.

    VCR? They stopped making those in December.

    Analog tuners? They are going away in the USA this year. Manufacturers either already have or will stop making them VERY soon.
