Dumont RA113 "Burlingame" restoration

How are you guys feeding a signal into these DUmonts sets ? They have what looks like an RCA jack which I think is around 75 ohms impedance. All I have handy is a standard composite video cable and an RCA to F converter at the other end for the RF modulator. It works OK, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it.

I was lucky to have a male "RCA" to female "F" adaptor that I acquired at some point over the years, so I use that. I don't think I have another one, but I'll check. If I do, you're welcome to it.

The picture looks quite good. I hope the sound alignment goes well. Mine was close enough that I just tweaked it a little by ear.

I bought one of those somewhere not that long ago, maybe three years ago when I got my RA-109. Check your local ma and pa hardware store.
