Alternatively, spade connector to coax adapters (also known as 300 to 75 Ohm separators) are available, which can take the RF signal from the Antenna-Game Switch and output it to coaxial cable. If they own a vintage television from the same time period, this may have the archaic antenna terminals needed for the fork connectors to hook onto. There is some extra equipment a user requires to make this RF output method somewhat practical. The process is shown in this 1972 Magnavox Odyssey promotional film ( Link). When "Game" mode was selected, the RF switch box output the console's video signal through a pair of fork connectors (also known as crimp spade connectors), which were connected to two screws found on the antenna terminal on the back of the TV. The Antenna-Game Switch had a slide lever that allowed the user to switch between using the Odyssey console and receiving signals from a remote television station. The other end of the Game Cable (using the same type of connector) would then be connected to an old-style mechanical TV RF-switch box called the Antenna-Game Switch. These connectors are known to have been used by the original Magnavox Odyssey as well as the Odyssey series of dedicated consoles released in the 1970s. Originally, the Odyssey Game Cable would connect to the console via a proprietary connector, which is not commonly used anymore.
