 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)

composite monitor. 
  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.
