Topic: Help with my Commodore 64?

Hi. I've been meaning to hook my C64 up for some time now but never got the chance.

My issue is hooking it up to a TV.

Now, my C64 came with a cable that looks like it would fit in to the video port (yellow RCA) on a TV. It plugs into a port on the back of the C64 marked "RF". Below is a picture of the cable.

So the question: If I hooked one end up to the yellow RCA port on a TV, and the other to the C64's RF Port, would I get a picture?

Thanks.

How about you try it and see if it works?  If it doesn't, THEN come to us for help.

How about you post something constructive instead of telling me off?

I think it might, but if it doesn't you'll need to buy an inverter. They're pretty cheap.

Also, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT THING?? TELL ME SO I CAN BUY ONE!!

eBay FTW. Got it for $15 from some guy in Canada.
