*** IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VINTAGE COMPUTERS AND COMPONENTS ***
Older computers, such as this TRS-80 Color Computer require special video interfaces, often using an RF-output. Modern televisions are often unable to pickup the signal without using special adapters, and even then don't always display properly. They were designed to be used with a CRT television and no guarantees it will work with anything else. While you can use a standard RF-to-Coaxial adapter to connect it to the coaxial port on a TV, the signal itself will not likely to be received on a modern TV. That is because the computer often outputs on an analogue channel 3 signal. Since the FCC switch-over to digital TV programming, many modern TVs no longer have an analogue receiver and are otherwise unable receive a signal on analogue channel 3. In order to use a computer with an RF-output it is best recommended to use an older CRT television or older flat panel which can accept an analogue channel 3 signal. Otherwise, please do your homework to learn what is required to connect an old console to a modern TV.
Also, vintage systems are...well...old. They will not last forever. They often need to have capacitors replaced or other electrical problems. So there is no guarantee that this unit will last for any defined period of time.
