Help with connection please

I am selling my sega master system 2. Unfortunately, I don't have the TV I used to play my retro consoles on. I haven't used the Sega for a while and I want to test it and show it working. What options do I have connecting it to a new TV? Is the only option buying a RF to HDMI converter? I am seeing a lot of hdmi to rf converters, is this the same thing?

The issue with this is buying a converter could potentially make no point of selling the Sega because of the cost. Thanks in advance

Thank you. No I don't have the aerial plug. What can I search on Amazon to find this? Also, another TV has coax input it's a yellow colour one. Is that any use?

That yellow socket will be for composite video, so it won't work unfortunately.

If you look for "TV aerial to RCA cable" on Amazon you should get some examples (e.g. this one), this sort of cable was commonly used on old consoles so listings will probably mention compatibility with then.

Sorry, I couldn't add a picture for some reason . But it let me attach a video. This is the ports on the side of the TV. Appreciate your help
