Hi #retrocomputing Fedi — I have a question. I recently acquired a couple of classics, a ZX81 and an Atari 2600 (both PAL). However, I've not been able to get them going, for the simple reason that the analogue tuner in my (relatively) modern TV can't pick up the RF signal.

While composite video mods are readily available for both, and I'll probably opt for that long term, I'd like to get them working in their original condition. Any suggestions? Would a simple RF amplifier help? #retro #atari
