can you tell me the name of the Radio Shack part I need?

I bought an extra portable TV at a garage sale for the teenager to use with playstation and DVDs. But it needs some kind of an adapter to connect with those. Can you tell me what the gizmo is called that I need? A coaxial something?

Thanks in advance.

:D

They got lots em too.

:spank:

Last thing in the world I would ever want to do is go into Radio Shack and ask the clerk for a thingamabob. I could not handle the extreme condescension from the nerd behind the counter.

Go in and ask em for a Shangle Adapter.

Tell em it for the new RISC based system to connect up a hybrid surround sound digital/analog and it converts the signal from analog to digital (and that PINs 64-76 are setup to do the conversion and so you need to make sure it is the Shangle and not the Remosso).

Of course, it is all BS but they might feel dumb and you can go home laughing as they sit around googling it :rofl:

Little biased on my opinion as a former District Manager for the Shack...

Always loved those that had the small penis syndrome and tried to come in and out-nerd you with this type of bullshit...

But hey...when you have to help little old ladies figure out how to use a calculator (because they are literally in tears) trying to complete their tax return...or the kids whose parents send them into the store to get some help with the science project...

(Before I start...I just googled "shangle adapter" for you. You get 27 hits. There is a guy in cyberspace named Rick Shangle, and he makes adapters. No shit. Oh yeah...CertainTeed calls its shingles "shangles.")

Every year between November 1 and December 24, at least ten people a day come in asking for male-to-male AC adapters. The dumb fucks put multiple strands of lights on their homes or trees without plugging them all together first, or without plugging them together as they string, and inevitably wind up with the female ends of two strings pointing directly at each other. And since it's easier to just buy an adapter than it is to take down the incorrectly-hung lights, they go to either Home Depot or Lowe's to try to get this elusive device.

When someone comes in asking for one, my response is always the same: "Are you TRYING to get yourself killed?"

I was discussing the phenomenon of people attempting to kill themselves with our products with another associate, and we decided that the safest and easiest way to deal with the problem would be to go to a pawnshop and buy a .45-caliber pistol. We stick the gun in the vault. If you decide you simply MUST go out and kill yourself, we'll give you the gun and you can go behind the building and shoot yourself with it. This way your kid doesn't die when the deck you put up with one bolt per pier instead of two (one bolt just acts as a pivot point) collapses, and your wife doesn't die when the floor you built with 2x4 floor joists falls in.

At least not at the ones around here. I go in asking for parts and they have no idea what I'm talking about. The last time I went looking for a 6 pin to 6 pin firewire cable and the guy didn't have a clue.

Is it a round metal part with a white plastic inside with a tiny hole in that? Also known as a coaxial input.

....will do so in the morning! Thanks.

well, lets see, they got doors, cash registers, carpet, shelves, an alarm system, etc...

OH, you wanted something radio shack SELLS... Thats different.






























I know, I am an asshole.
