I think that somebody who doesn't know the difference between RF and
composite, should learn that FIRST.
Ouch! Guilty, as charged. That's what y'all are for. :)

Done. I can now watch the weather in my office, too. ($5 B&W TV)

This I'll probably do. I don't mind much if I trash the TS-1000 -
although I'd rather not. It's a low-priced, low-preference piece of my
collection. Good for practice. And _yes_, Tony, I also have a couple
of toasted PC adapters to get my soldering tuned up first.
When I got my first Coco (the day they arrived), I
played with it for
almost an hour before I opened the case, and didn't connect it to
composite video until the next day.
Remarkable restraint.
