Old tv to new tv with old flat wire

If you get it connected will it work? I know my old antenna didn't work when I upgraded TV's. Let us know.

You need a 300 ohm balm. It converts 300 ohm twin-lead to 75 ohm coax and vice versa. I played with this stuff for years while growing up.

One of these will work from AMAZON... WALMART may have this item as well...

Hard to find any Radio Shacks anymore...

Just cut off the spade lugs and twist the two 300 ohm cable leadsfrom the antenna to this adapter. Best to solder them in place...

If it were me I would replace the old trailer antenna with one of the more modern WINEGARD BATWING antennas that has an built-in booster amp and use one of the WINGARD WALL PANELs to power it up... This is what most of use for Over-The-Air Digital TV reception on the RV's... This setup uses the standard RG cables...

I remember having a connector that had two flat wires with U shaped ends connected to some kind of a round attachment.

No, you can not Fook up 200 ohm flat antenna wire to a 72 ohm coax! You need a transformer, Radio Shack use to carry them.

That flat wire cable is actually called 300 ohm cable, you want an adapter to coax: amazon

You will need a short piece of 75 ohm coax cable to go between the adapter and the TV
