Draft notes

Having gotten accurate caliper measurements of the original Odyssey Game Cable, Razor's power cable pic may no longer be suitable Replacement connector size from RazorX.png

Still need to measure the hole size also. There is a scissor-shaped bit on top of the caliper tool for measuring internal diameters (see convo with Razor)

there's also another video output option if you have the original game cable but not a working switchbox. You can use the paperclip trick, wrapping one end of a paperclip around the magnavox connector and inserting the pointy end into a female coaxial port on a TV or an RF combiner.

Review these links and update the Video Output options
