Coleco's 1982 console connected to a television by RF only: a phono-style jack on the rear feeds the bundled RF box, which reaches the TV by coaxial antenna with a channel 3/4 selector switch. Composite or RGB is possible only through aftermarket modifications. A separate rear jack takes the external power supply, and the two controllers plug into a recessed bay on the top of the unit. A front expansion-module interface allowed add-ons such as the Atari 2600-compatible Expansion Module #1.
Coleco’s 1982 cartridge console with RF-only TV output via a bundled RF box, plus a top-mounted controller bay.

Notes & Compatibility
TV output is RF over coaxial antenna via the bundled RF box (modeled as the RF antenna connection). The rear power jack accepts a proprietary external Coleco PSU (kept in prose). Controllers use proprietary Coleco connectors in a top-mounted recessed bay (prose, not modeled). The front Expansion Module interface is a console bus (not user cabling, not modeled). Composite/RGB output requires aftermarket mods.
