Nah - can't do that! I still have vivid memories of how my NASCOM-1 TV display
jiggled up and down back in '78! This time I'm splurging on an eBay composite
monitor, and Jim Battle kindly clued me in where to get an appropriate PL259 to
RCA adaptor for my SOL-20.

I'll admit though that I do use Radio Shack when gotta-have-it-now overcomes me.
