Please post links to pictures showing the adapter you are using and the resulting screen. If your TV has a 75 ohm coax input I would suggest using a 75 ohm coax cable with connectors like this:

Then use an adapter like this to connect it to the Color Computer's TV output:

I use this setup with my MC10 and used to use it with my CoCo 1 before I installed this modification:
