But I can't get it to work! The TV turns on, and gives me "snow" but when I screw the antenna to coax converter thing (the thing with the two prongs on it) in (using a Magnavox T-26 since it's the only one I have that does that), it doesn't really do anything. When I turn the 2600 on the "snow" changes slightly like it's doing something.
I checked the connections, all are nice and tight. I tried channel 2 and 3. I set the 2600 to B&W since it's a B&W TV. But no signs of life. I know that 2600 works as it's one I've used in the past.
Help?
One of these?
Can you take a picture of the connection?

Those old TVs get warm. As long as it isn't like hot, like you can't hold your hand on it for long hot, you should be fine.

Also wondering if someone can tell me what one of these dials does. It's above the TV channel dial and it has numbers from 14 to 83. It spins around instead of clicking like the channel dial and seemingly does nothing when I spin it.
Those are for analog UHF channels. The lower knob probably has a U setting, which allowed you to tune a channel on the upper knob. Largely went the way of the Dodo when analog OTA shut down.
