where to attach VHF/UFH to coax adapter?

Use the pair on bottom right that says VHF between them.
If you still get nothing the tuner is probably out. I cant remember
what tuner this uses but the ones in bigger sets had a lot
of cold joint problems. You can also try running the CH 3 adjustment
through its range.

Another thought. The other bottom pair may have had a jumper on them
so try that also....

I looked at mine yesterday. There is a jumper on the two lower left hand terminals and the matching transformer is connected on the two lower right. Works great the way it is, so I'll leave it as-is.
Right now, I'm running it on 12VDC. I converted an RCA DTV convertor to run off straight 12V. Also an amplified set-top antenna.

I have the same set and you're right about the terminals. Leave the white wires disconnected.
The set uses a varactor tuner with the settings on the side under the cover.
Great picture on those little sets.

thanks for the help guys.
i tried messing with it again tonight, i had static in the picture before but not now, the screen is just black.
but now that i have installed a jumper on the bottom left two terminals and the adapter wired up to the vhf connections i am able to get some audio among lots of static while on channel 2. the vcr is set for channel 3. but no picture right now. it seems if i wiggle my adapter around the static comes and goes, it seems to sound best with my hand wrapped around it like a insulator.
i think i am going to order another 75ohm/300ohm adapter to try.
