  OK, I obviously wasn't as clear on the keyboard as I was in my mind.

  Timex Sinclair 1000 - RF output, VHF Channel 2 or 3
  TV, no spade/screw VHS input
  VCR has composite Video In, selected by switch.

  I'm not getting any picture at all running a composite cable from the
Timex to the VCR Video In. Do I need to make a Rat Shack run, or does
the Timex have a problem?
