Where can I buy one of these?
My phono to s-video adaptor thingy that came with my TV card has recently had its pins bent beyond recognition after it kept on coming out of the back of the TV card and after much fumbling around in the dark behind my computer.

Does anyone know where I can buy one of these things, cheaply?

I've tried Maplin online but they don't seem to have anything.

Also if anyone has one going spare and wouldn't mind donating it to me then I'd be grateful.

Thanks.

Unfortunately not.

Sounds good, but a similar thing from the places here would cost you the bloody earth - a bog standard scart lead will set you back something like £6/7.

Doofy thank you for your offer!

I will take it up, so check your PMs.

Just beware there are two types of S-Video to phono connectors, Your card will likeley be a 7 pin (I think) so this will likeley work with both adapters, however, if you have a 4 pin card and he sends you a 7 pin adapter it wont have it.
There is also a small chance that if you have a 7pin card and he gives you a 4pin adapter that wont work either, I found this problem with my laptop.

sorry Paul, I only just saw this - my bad for not subscribing to threads. I am ok, thanks, at that price I would have got one for spares, but I already have all I need to get everything hooked up. Thanks for the offer, though - appreciated
