As you know i am into video games  But i also collect retro video game consoles ect. These old consoles use RF to get the picture to the TV. As i have got a new TV of course it does not like RF anymore 
Is there anyway to change RF into Composite?
RF
Composite

You plug it into the antenna and tune your vcr to what ever channel your game is transmitting on like its a regular analogue tv station and then it should work.
I think most old games (atleast in OZ) where on UHF, you will need to read your video recorder manual on how to manually tune in a channel.
Will only work if your video has an inbuilt analogue tuner which would mean its a recorder a player only wont work.
Hope that helps

Success!!!  
I had a pong game that also had a gun for a shooting game.
Sold it for $5 about 18 or 19 years ago.
