hey stupid would that be a no?

Does the TV have other inputs, such as ''S'' video or phono jacks for video and sound? If so, you may be able to connect the cable to the VCR and then the VCR to the other input. Otherwise, you may have to repair the old connection. If it has a cable going from the damaged connection on into the TV, you may be able to put an end on it.
