    Need help from an experienced Commondore Vic 20 user!
    « on: November 14, 2013, 10:34:39 PM »
    I have recently gotten my hands on a complete Commodore Vic 20, however I am having an issue with it. The rf modulator ( http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/cbm/vic/rf-adapt.jpg ) is supposed to connect via coxial so it runs on channel 3 or 4, currently, the only thing I own that is compatible is my old nintendo converter ( http://www.thestrong.org/online-collections/images/Z005/Z00538/Z0053874.jpg ). Everything is plugged up properly because when I switch the system on the grey fuzz on the tv screen changes and if I jiggle around the connection between the vic 20 box and the cable from the NES converter, the fuzz changes and sometimes remnants of a picture even appear. My question is, do you think this means the vic 20 box is bad? Could it be a loose connection? Should I open the box up and take a look inside? Or perhaps is it because the nintendo converter isn't properly designed for what I am trying to do here? Any help at all will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!!
