[Bill Pierce]

The original Nintendo had such a connector. And strangley enough... didn't the Coco 2 come with one as well?

 I want to connect my
 Tandy MC-10  to a new Flat screen TV which has several inputs.
 I want to connect my "Channel  3/4 switch " to the coax connector
 on the back of the TV.   I have to connect "twin lead" on the switch to
 the
 coax on the TV. Radio Shack doesn't have an adapter.
 
 Thanks in advance for your help

That is called a "balun" transformer John, and I am amazed the shack 
oesn't have any.  Every tv antenna up on the mezzanine shelving needs one 
o adapt it for 75 ohm coax.  Some may come with one but they should have a 
eg full of them.  Its a female F-59 socket on one end, and 2 or 3" of flat 
ith spade lugs sticking out of what is probably a molded plastic body in 
he middle.  I would rather think that the counter help they hire & train 
he heck out of to sell cell phones simply don't "understand the lingo".
Its the wrong time of the year, but you might tour the flea markets. Some 
f the game stuff came with a switch that had 2 or 3 F-59 connectors on 
hem in a little 2x2x1" tin box with a slider switch on its face.  You need 
he one with 2 connectors and the short flat line with spade lugs.  Don't 
ay more than a $2 bill for it, they are hardly worth that.
They will work backwards as the transformer made out of ferrite beads 
oesn't care.
