It isn't being stubborn but I couldn't think of a better title. Here's my problem:
I have a 4 Switch atari 2600, and I want to connect to an old tv I just got for free that is a 1981 Philco color tv. My atari has the coaxial type plug in, but the tv doesn't have any plug except for its ac adaptor.
How do I connect the two? Is there an adaptor? I would also want to connect my NES 2 to that tv at the same time so how do I do that?
Please Help.
are there some skrews marked VHF or UHF?
There are two screws each for both of them. I tried the possibility of using a tv/game switch but it only works on the 6 switch, not the 4.
Is there some kind of adaptor so I can use either of those screws with the coaxial plug for rf?

Yes, there is. Usually called a 'balun':

Wow, I should have remembered that thing, since you showed me before. Just need to know some stuff:
1) Where can I find one?
2) Whick one do I connect it to, VHF or UHF?
3) (I'm assuming yes but) will it work if I use a splitter and a cable with it to hook up multiple rf systems?
1) Radio shack or equivalent.
2) VHF
3) Yes, just don't turn on two or more consoles at the same time.
thank you!
