Tv Mod - Ant to coax

[Poly-poly man]

I think this is the right newsgroup to post to, if not, direct me to
one better.

I have a little b+w Tv that I'm trying to modify. It's pretty old. I'm
trying to get coax input to it, when it has only a antenna and a little
plug marked "Ext. Ant.", which looks exactly like a headphone plug. I'm
thinking of conneting a run of 300 ohm cable to the antenna plug inside.
I'm unsure of where to go from here. It's a one-wire antenna.

Go to Radio Shack..... get their little adapter (Radio Shack #15-1148) that
plugs into the mini-jack on the television and provides you with antenna
screw terminals so that you can connect 300 ohm twinlead.... or connect it
to a balun transformer that will convert to a 75 ohm coax "F" connector....
....or their #278-257 that plugs into your television's mini-jack and
converts it directly to a 75 ohm coax "F" connector. .....only a few
bucks.
