Question SNES Cable Problem - where do I get a new one

Yes I know how ancient this is but I just resurrected an old SNES out of the attic for my 6 year old son. Trouble is the RF out cable seems to have suffered over time and needs juggling about to get a decent picture.

The question is can I get a new cable or do I consign the SNEs to the bin

I was given a load of games recently by a neighbour so it seems a shame to just throw it away for the sake of a cable. I can let number 1 son play to his hearts content until I buy an X box for me...I mean him

Thanks in advance

Don't know what kind of cable the RF out is on a SNES, but if it's the "traditional" phono to tv aerial type connector, you should be able to get a new lead from maplin.

These any good?

Looks like a standard TV cable as John mentions so should be able to get one from your local electrical supplier

Just hope it isn't the internal RF unit

Fantastic response!

I've just ordered it off ebay

It isn't the internal RF unit as I've checked it against another console so it appears to be problem solved.

Thanks for both replies my son will be chuffed!
