Most televisions in the late 70's - early 80's came with RF in only. If
you wanted comp in, you had to buy a "monitor".
Back then, VCRs weighed 50 lbs and cost around $500.

I am thinking
about the thing for the IIc+
Sellam indicated that he thinks the modulator came with all IIc's, but I
have to question... Why? The IIc already has a composite video out, so
why also ship with the modulator.
For that matter... why make the modulator at all?!? If the IIc has
composite video, why bother with an RGB to composite? Does the IIc+ not
have the composite?
I would not be surprised if the Computer/TV slide switch shipped with all
IIc's, much like they shipped with all Atari 2600's. Just a cheap item to
toss in so people can connect it to their TV set. But including an
apparently redundant function modulator, that just seems silly.
