[RndTbl] Off-topic: Convert a video signal

[Kevin McGregor]

Yeah, I went from the RCA RF output to a switchbox to F-Type, into my VCR,
out to composite/left/right, into my amp, the video out to my projector.

I don't think I have a DIN5 connector keyboard around I could
cannibalize. These are available on eBay:
