I ordered a RCA compact modulator from Amazon that I think will allow me to use the rca out from my dvr, into a coax that hooks to an adapter, then attaches to the screw input terminals on the back of the set. Will report back when the device arrives.

Isn't there any Charity or thrift shops around your area? I've bought countless modulators, DTV convertors, coax connectors and other items, all for a fraction of new. My favorite haunt is one in an area where there is a lot of older folk moving out of state or moving into smaller quarters, so there's a good selection.
BTW, those Small Zenith sets were great for resale, they stayed sold.
