    Default Help! (Atari 2600 "Heavy Sixer" problem)

    I just picked up a "heavy sixer" at a local flea market. It works, but someone has changed the antena cable that comes out of the back to some grey cord with a bunch of random wires at the end. I want to hook it up to my tv the regular way, so how can I get rid this cord and put the regular one back in?

    Thanks!

    I opened it up and it has audio/video cables with a 4th black cable and one plug in thing for just one cable. The RF thing has been completely removed... Weird. Looks like a male to male plug could possibly go there...

    Sounds like someone was trying to mod that mighty Heavy Sixer for composite outputs, and screwed up/never finished.

    Yeah thats what it looks like. The console powers up so it works, but is there any way I can fix this problem? It would be a shame to let such a good find just sit and go to waste.

    I can provide some pictures if needed, hopefully within the week, as I don't have my digital camera right now.

    Shoot, looks like I won't be able to get the pics 'till this weekend. I'll get them though and post them here.
