[comp.sys.ti] RF Modulator

ucontom@cisunx.UUCP (Tom Dressel) (11/09/88)

Does anyone know where I can get an RF modulator for a TI99/4A?  Mine is
trash and I seem to remember an ad somewhere for them at about $5.  

					Thanks a bunch.

Last I remember, you could pick up spare ones at Radio Shack.  I know they use to carry TI RF's, but if they don't anymore, zap me some mail, there are a few other places to try.

Tenex (800-348-2778) is advertising them for $19.95 in this month's
MicroPendium.  Seems a bit steep.

I'm sure Tex-Comp (818-366-6631) also carries them, but they don't appear in
any of Tex-Comp's current ads.  (Note:  If you call Tex-Comp's "24-hour
order line", you'll probably have to leave a message and hope they return
your call.)

There are a number of smaller dealers as well, but none seem to list RF
modulators in their current ads.

Also, if there's a users' group near you, somebody there may be able to
refer you to a good source.

Thanks for those that replied about the RF Modulator.  I saw two posts
and received two e-mail messages.  Yep, you were all right.  I went to
Radio Shack and found one for $4.95.  I should've realized that would be
the place to look because that's the place where I got a new keyboard
for my TI.  Anyway, I hooked up the new modulator, adjusted the TV a bit
and now it works fine.
				Thanks again for all your help.

As a side note, are there any Tunnels of Doom fans out there?  This is
my favorite game for the TI99/4A.  Needless to say, I was pleased when I
saw new games for the TOD cartridge in a Triton catalog.  Should be
ordering them soon.  Has anyone played these games?  They are called
Doom Games I and Doom Games II.  The catalog doesn't describe the new
games at all, not wanting to give anything away.
