I decided to break out the Atari 2600, but I have an issue to overcome. I need a replacement power supply, which is easy. But, somehow the end of the a/v cable that is outside the 2600 got ripped off. I was gladdened to discover that it is not hardwired inside the unit, so I just unplugged it. But, I'm not sure what I could replace it with. Is a male-to-male RCA cable what I need? I know the inside end looked like a male RCA plug, but I have no idea what the other end looked like and I have no idea if a generic RCA cable will replace what was in there. I know I will then need a "RCA Female to F type Coax Male adapter," and that's no big deal once I replace the cable. From looking on YouTube, it looks like the other end was also a male RCA, so I just need to know if a generic cable is fine.
Thanks.
BTW, it's a light sixer, if that matters. Also, some say you can just run any of the colored ends of a composite cable out of there, and others say that won't work. You might want to act like I don't know anything about different cables, which is probably true.
