Durnit - I don't have BNC connectors.  Think it'll work with an RCA to BNC adapter?

I also noted orders are limited to a quantity of 1.  Would a group of you be willing to help me buy the others.  How bout we start a pyramid where you get 2 others to put in their name?  After your name gets to the top of a list of of 6 names, you'd get 64 of the connectors - that should be enough for most of us to wire our systems.

enjoy,

P.S.  Just saw Josh's post:   :oops:  :banghead:

"Dr. Ersatz Lirpa (the first) was born a small child in Garagekey, Czechoslovakia, the town of his birth..."

I was born as a small child in the adjacent town of Minorkey Czechoslovakia, and I am proud to say that Dr. Lirpa and myself went to different schools together. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Ummm Dan, I was trying to keep the "straight man" presentation you had in the first post.  I didn't see any smileys there.  Please don't tell me that anyone took the pyramid scheme suggestion seriously.   :roll:

Anyway, it's all good.

If you want to read an enjoyable set of bicycle inventions along the same vein, look up the following.  I'm particularly fond of my TORK-GRIP torque wrench.
