Only VWestlife can make a video about an adapter interesting to watch
I remember back in 2003 when I wanted to connect my new (at the time) PC to my video recorder so I could record from it. The video card had video out and I could switch between NTSC and PAL but there was no composite out, only s-video. So shat I did was connect the VCR straight up to the luma wire, then used a small (I forget the value) ceramic capacitor to connect the chroma. It worked quite well if I remember, maybe that’s what’s in that little black box.
It does quite a good job considering the adapter wont be able to differentiate what part of the composite signal is 3.58Mhz colour sub carrier (for NTSC) and what part is high frequency luminance.
I used to use this with a laptop that had a special TV out port that looked like S-video but had 3 extra pin holes, so it could output s-video, composite through the extra pins, or component using a combination of all pins somehow. The adapter that went from that port to composite rca female got lost, so the radio shack adapter made for a suitable replacement. As mentioned by someone else, it uses a capacitor between the chroma contacts to act as a filter to prevent smearing and dot crawl.
radio shack sold an adapter for anything. I always grabbed weird odd ones too fir my tv van. Some people have different pin numbers on svideo lines so u can use that….don’t use a rca cable use a male to male barrel it will look better
I made one back in the early 2000s because the computer video card I had only had an S-Video out and my TV only had a composite input.
Now this is the stuff! Weirdly specific little bits of tech, especially converters, I love that.
You can tell HD BLU-RAY movie I love it the sound is good.
Radio shack has been gone for quite some time up here in Canada. I remember buying out a TON of their old stock. I have an old pic, maybe 15 years old now, sowing off all the stuff I got from RS before they shuttered in Canada. I got things like touch sensitive remote controls, rolls of RG6U, cans of ‘air’, video switches, etc. I also walked away with their entire local stock of individually packaged resistors, capacitors and such. I miss Radio Shack :/
I found one of those original EOS Rebel cameras in a skip in my local tipping/recycling centre. I nabbed it still use it!
$449 FOR AN HDMI CABLE? WHAT ON EARTH! I’ve seen ridiculously priced audio cables, so I don’t know why I’m so shocked seeing HDMI cable being expensive for no reason, but damn…
I’ve got boxes of stuff like this, no bnib unfortunately, I’m loathe to part with on general principle. I wish I’d kept the catalogues, that’s a nice throwback there.

Love your videos but Hyacinth Bucket made this one above and beyond! I love Keeping Up Appearances.
We’ve got a foot in both worlds, and for me I don’t think I’ll ever fully settle my weight in the modern era, just don’t have any need for it. I almost welled up at that RS spot.
RadioShack, Realistic, Optimus, Archer, Tandy… what other brands did they have?
I can see how this is useful because I noticed that older TVs and VCRs often times didn’t have s-video unless it was a high end TV or an S-VHS VCR.
I used that adaptor in 2003+ to connect my ATI graphics card in my PC to my CRT TV. I used to pirate TV shows even back then and watch on my TV as the picture was bigger and smoother on the TV
That TV needs its own video! I lold so hard at just seeing it!
There is an affiliated Radio Shack north of
here, near Concord, NH. It is part of an Auto
parts store in that store.
When we were in Jensen Beach, Florida, last
Winter, there was a similar Radio Shack in
a portion of a Western Auto store in the town of Indiantown, Florida, a small town to the west of us, near Lake Okeechobee 😀 .
