Do you mean for the av-in port on the TurboVision?  It takes a standard 3.5mm TRS to RCA splitter thing, available from newegg or wherever for a couple bucks.

Just checking, you know that tuner is useless now, right? I mean, I'm not knocking stuff that's useless (I own a Saturn XBand which is TOTALLY useless) I just don't want someone to think they can actually use a Turbovision tuner in 2012 for anything other than, maybe, a local Christian channel.

The TurboVision still allows you to line in video. It is very cool to see and play Ys III on a Turbo Express.

I sold mine TE awesome shape news caps for sound, With Tuner, With Case and 10 common hu cards for 120.00.  To me that would be a going rate for a 20 year old Handheld.  I sold it becuase I ended up never playing it.

Yeah the screen is just to small for my taste. But if I can find one on the Cheap side I might just get it 8)

I guess it's as useless as many other products have always been, but still much more useful than stuff like figurines.

As a fan of the Turbo line and games in general, I used it mostly to line-in video bitd, when you could still pickup TV station signals. I even played 32X games on it during road trips/vacations. Of course, the Turbo Express itself is also useless today from a pessimistic perspective.
