I've seen this post is quite a bit old but I have an experience like this.
My father has an Atari 2600 since before I was born. It was also the first videogame I've played. It only had a antenna coaxial cable out to connect on tv and a few years ago he took the video game to an technician who adapted it to AV out and it was the year my father bought us an LCD tv. ( It was 2014, and yes, before this we only had tube tvs haha) And it worked very well, the image was clear and perfect, better than the older cable that had a lot of interfereces.
