[Coco] Model 1 tv adapter?

For the Mod 1 you're interested in pins 4 (signal) and 5 (ground) for
composite video. Once upon a time you may have been able to buy something
like this at your friendly neighborhood Radio Shack; now you'll have to
build one. Back to the good quality RCA cable but now a five-pin DIN
connector. Remove one of the ends from the connector, strip it back and
solder the ground (outer wire) to pin 5 and the signal (inner or tip wire)
to pin 4. From there you can convert composite to HDMI or whatever...

Hope this helps!
