Pelican brand game video switch box: $3

Only thing it didn't come with was the AC adapter so I can't test it, atm. But cosmetically, it looks decent. It has button switches with labels for

Sounds like my turk which I don't need a power cable for :lol: but hey if you can get it work it might be better than the turk even though it's $2 cheaper than I got mine for ha ha

I have the pelican switch box... You only need the power cable if you are running the coax cable through it. Which I never have. It works perfectly fine as a component switch with out the power. Good pick up!

I have an old Pelican switch similar to what you describe. It has labeled tabs for those consoles, as well as DVD, VCR, CD, OTHER, and maybe one or two more. Mines only composite and 4 inputs though. It also matches the aesthetics of the PS2 which was neat.

But yeah, it only requires the power adapter for RF. Otherwise, it's passive.

Of course it doesn't actually matter what you're using the ports for, so if you have two, you can feed the component through just using the R/Y/W plugs on one and the audio on another switch, or if you have a tuner that's audio inputs only just hook into those.

Cosmic Avenger.

Pierrot is sending me a camera, so my pics should improve soon. Taking pics on this chromebook is embarrassing.
