   I'm using the original cable to the 2600, original everything.  TV has a   
   perfect picture of local channels (it is not hooked up to any TV cable,   
   etc.)  All cables and cord for the 2600 including the game/tv switch box   
   look to be fine.  When I put the TV on channel 3 and switch from TV to Game   
   there is no change on the TV screen at all except for a very brief snowy   
   image of an atari game which I could not get it to do again.  I'm wondering   
   perhaps if either the the channel 3 is just not working for some reason, or   
   if it is the actual game/tv switchbox that is bad.  Do they still sell those   
   at Radio Shack and if so how much do you think they are?  I could try one   
   and see if it is the problem.  I'd sure like to set this up and play it   
   again after all these years.   Last time I used it was about 5 years ago.
