As you guys may know, I have 3 of those odd little Quasar UP 1315XQ 3.5" color TVs from the mid '80s. These little guys have GREAT pics, but as analog rides off into the sunset, I have a problem-There is apparently NO WAY to hook up an ext antenna to these things-Except thru this attachment called a "VCR Adapter", which only one of my sets has. Its a little box, about the size of a cigarette pack, that had 4 RCA jack looking female inputs, one each for "Video In/Out" & Audio In/Out". My question is, how/where do I get a box that will convert a std cable company signal/coax fitting into something I can use on this ? I'm sure it can be done, I just don't know how to "get there from here". But I'm sure some of you wizards out there will know what to do, & can enlighten me...Muchas Gracias...-Sandy

Since it has video in you can get one of those DTV tuners, they have video out (rca) plug that into the video in to the vcr adaptor voila you now have a way to watch tv again using an antenna.

Are they definitely RCA jacks on the little Quasars?

If so, then you're good to go with the DTV converter idea.
