It's retro nostalgic technology, dressed up as futuristic alternative historic fantasy technology and I think it makes me dizzy. That being said... I have actually played my ancient NES which I have carried along with me since early childhood, like some kind of blankie, within the last five years just because I had to know if it still worked.  This is kind of overwhelming.

Usually this would be on channel 3 or 4.  Beside that connector there was a mono-audio and a video RCA type connector.  These work just fine today with TVs that have an AV IN set of connectors or a receiver which has this and up-samples the output to HDMI for your modern TVs.  I use this for my NES and SNES to this day with modern TVs.  The ones I’ve had included the RF-out which would connect into the antenna in/cable in for the TV.

Or maybe just some clear yellow lacquer? Also, it must be getting hard to find a display to plug one of these into these days... did they all use an RF signal, or was composite video an option?
