Restoring and testing my 4-port Atari 2600; It gets a bath

[@3vi1J]

Nice video, good job! The person you mention @1:19 does have a point: The plasticizer that keeps the cord pliant will leach out into any plastic you have it tightly wrapped around (if you leave it like that for years). It leaves cable scarring in the plastic as if they were touched with a hot iron. I have seen it happen to a couple of my old systems from the 70's and 80's that had been boxed up for 10+ years. I recommend wrapping the cord up and using velcro to keep it bundled nicely and out of the way instead.
With my four-switcher, I did a composite mod and put a 3.5mm TRRS barrel jack in the opening that the RF cable used to come out of - so there's no unreversible cutting and I can connect it to RCA jacks with a detachable L-shaped-TRRS/RCA cable.

Good point! The RF cable on the VCS is of pretty good quality so it has not turned into mush. I have the kit to mod it to RCA video and audio jacks, I just have not installed it yet :-(

That Atari was barely dirty
