Turbo Express as a video monitor using TurboVision?

[ifkz]

I have long read this was possible and today I bought a Turbo Vision at auction. Before it gets here, I would like to track down the proper cable or connector to get it to work as a monitor. I have seen the Game Gear TV tuner used in the same way with a tiny "F-Type to headphone jack" converter. Does the TurboVision use the same part? Anyone have a link to purchase a cheap one (or event the correct term for the part)?

EDIT: FOUND IT! Radio Shack part number 278-257

It really depends on the different things you want to line in. Local dollar stores around here have all kinds of variations of male headphone jack to misc connections. I keep several variations for lining audio and video in and out of my PC and various consoles. I try to keep the number of connections between the source and target to a minimum.

I am wondering if I got a bad TurboVision unit. I am using the Radio Shack jack in the "A/V" connection on the side of the Turbovision. It is on VHF and is on the nearest to Channel 3 I can get. Has anyone done this before/back in the day that can give me some pointers?

My A/V in source is an Atari Jaguar.

EDIT: Figured it out! Set the Turbovision to VHF and get it close to channel 3. Put the adapter in the EXT ANT port and dial it in carefully.

What does a working TurboVision go for these days, loose?
