Just Found This Camera In The Attic. I Can't Get It To Play On Our Tvs?

Both the 3 end cord and the 2 plug cord(red & white) won't work. All I get is audio. UIs there a new cable that will work? Thanks, our kids will get a huge kick out of seeing these tapes after all these years!

If the end of the cable only has red and white plugs then try plugging the red into the yellow input on your TV and the white into the white input. If that doesn't work then try the other way around.
