help hooking up a Colecovision

Post by derbon »

so.. i bought a colecovision :shock2: on ebay, and a can't plug it in to my tv, so i don't if works or not (because the original owner let it rot in their attic), i do have all the things that you plug into the colecovision (power supply, the thing ye plug into the tv, etc.) but i can't find the place were i plug the colecovision into the tv, OMG.

so.. probably need an RF adapter or any other adapter like, ya' know, sht
i think the best paint program would be microsoft paint + paint.NET+graphics gale + Paint shop Pro 7 + photoshop CS3, it would be called Paint Gale Pro Shop.NET,

Yeah.. you probably need an old analog tv with the male coax (not the new digital ports). I'm not sure how to hook the older systems up to a newer LCD-style screen.

You'll likely need some sort of coaxial to A/V adapter. Do some googling, you can probably find something out there.
