I do not miss these. The RCA wires were so frail on most consoles. At least you could repair cables with spare parts from Radio Shack back then.

Yes.
Just came across a bunch of composite cables in a bin I was going through as I'm moving. I've got way too much of this kind of stuff that I need to get rid of. I hate moving.
You know how you think it's better to keep them, just in case?
It is.

Hehehe, mismatched color ports go bzzzzzzzzzzzz
Only if they're mismatched from one end to the other. You can use any color cable as long as both ends go in the same color port (eg yellow cable connecting the red ports). Also, you could totally do redPort-whitePort, your Left/Right would just be reversed.
Give me a second to switch my oscilloscope to XY mode.
I typed the long form of this before, but I bought a projector with no sound system, and just hooked up my existing small TV to the composite audio and the display to the projector
I really loved those kitchen gadgets back then. These days, you really don't have separate lines for mustard, mayo and ketchup anymore.
Those are modern! My audio equipment used DIN plugs. And the tv only had an antenna input.
Yeah... even older... I still have an Intelivision, which was not purchased used! It was my parents, but it was handed down to me and I kept it ever since. If I ever get my life together one day I would love to set all my old stuff back up in a dedicated area and go through what I have and clean it all up and pray most of it still works.
💀💀💀💀
When I've got this ancient...? Why am I mummified?
Ones for internet, ones for tv and ones for sound. Never really understood what the white was for.. 😆
Uh... Afaik, internet data does not use rca. The yellow is video, the white is left audio, the red is right audio (together, stereo sound).
You’re absolutely correct. All i knew was that one was video and one was audio. Didn’t know audio split.. spanks!!
