    Ray Carlsen can build one for you, even one with a s-video connector.

    The C64 I received has a tv connector. I attempted to plug it into the
    'yellow'
    rca port on my tv to no avail.

    Yellow usually means composite video while the RCA connector of the C64
    puts out an RF signal that should go to the antenna input of a TV.

    I have a composite/s-video-to-HDMI converter that does well with the conversion (so well that Ray Carlsen bought one for himself). You can find it at

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-RCA-AV-CVBS-Composite-S-Video-R-L-Audio-to-HDMI-Converter-Adapter-Upscale/352644444452?hash=item521b3f3124:g:UyIAAOSw0ohdTTfJ

    Don't get the downscaler version which down-converts the HDMI signal to composite (the boxes look very similar).

    I'll grab that device if what I bought doesn't work. It's delivered tomorrow.
