Actually, there's an Atari message board I check out
every once in a while, and you won't believe how often
this question comes up. So this isn't a stupid
question at all.

Well, Scooter, since I'm kind of pathetic with a
soldiering iron, here's what I do. Hie yerself down
to Radio Shack and look in the TV connector section.
What you are looking for is an adapter with a female
RCA jack on one end and a male coax cable connector on
the other. Next, you pick up one of those nice
switchboxes, a push-button type with female coax cable
connectors up and down. (They have two input and
three input ones. Because of my video games and
VCR's, I have four of the three input ones, one to act
as a master selector and the other three with the
different toys attached.) Get home and connect the
adapter to whichever input you like, attach the cable
line to the other input, and then run a line from the
switchbox's output to your TV, VCR, whatever. Connect
your Atari to the adapter on the back, and
bobsyeruncle. Fun and merriment and the coolest house
in town.

Rub it in, why don't you? ;-)
