An Atari will have an RCA connector for RF on it that should connect to a box (if this box did not come with your Atari you can't use your Atari with any set until you locate one) that has a "TV-Game" switch on it this box should have a flat two wire cable on it. Connect said two wire cable to the VHF terminals, and tune the TV to channel 2 OR 3 (not 4 trust me I own a 2600). The 2600 should have a switch on it to select the output channel so if 2 don't work try 3 or vice versa.

Wow the atari 2600 works. However the picture is off, all the controls on the tv seem to work, geez how to explain this, if you had a sheet of paper in front of you and it was squared up to you and you rotated it about 2-3 inches off, that is what my picture would look like. What all is involved in pulling the tv out? and if i were to pull it out, what should i do with it? Thanks again.

Sounds like the yoke needs to be adjusted. It's the coil on the neck of the CRT. Black & white sets are easy to disassemble. Probably not a good question to ask around here, especially on that nice piece.

I generally run the set with something on screen that has horizontal bars and adjust the set while running, but be warned of exposed metal....I once touched the winding of the yoke on the operating set I was adjusting and got a mean bite.
