To connect your Atari to your TV, you'll need to get a "phono to f" adapter. These are available at RadioShack (part no. 278-255) for about $5.00 This adapter takes the phono plug from the Atari and changes it to a standard coaxial adapter. If your HD TV doesn't have an input for standard cable wires, you'll need to get yourself an RF modulator to switch the coax to RCA. If you have an old VCR with an unused cable input, that will work as well.

Atari 2600 works fine for about ten minutes then the picture on the TV screen starts to flucuate or flicker out of focus. This pattern repeats every couple of seconds and makes the system almost unplayable. How can I fix this?

I have an Atari 2600. The problem is with the left control plug on the console. I've tried different joysticks. The joysticks work on the right side, not sure with the paddles or the keypad. On the left side joysticks donot work; the knob on the paddles work, but not the red button. The keypad works fine as far as I know. What is the consoles problem, and how can this console be repaired? Thank you for your time.
