Ok so you have 2 options, one not as practicable but would be more convenient with more sets. Option 1, the easier one, is to get an adapter like this one. https://www.amazon.com/RCA-VH54R-Matching-Transformer-VH54R/dp/B00005T3EY/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=75+ohm+to+300+ohm+adapter&qid=1573104431&sprefix=75ohm+to&sr=8-9

It doesn't have to be this exact model but you just need some sort of adapter like this one. Considering this tv was made without any inputs other than RF, this is your best bet. This is also considering your vcr has RF, but since nearly every vcr has RF already you should be fine. The second option, is less practical but possible is to create your own analog station in your home. Since the analog airwaves for tv have been pretty much abandoned, you can do what you want with it and this would be a neat thing to setup, especially since it would also be able to transmit to portable tvs also. If you don't want to buy an adapter brand new, you could probably find a used one in a thrift store but the new ones are not all that expensive either. There are also rca to RF converter boxes so with those you can take composite video and lay it on this tv.

Does it have external antenna inputs (probably 2 sets of screws, one for VHF, one for UHF)?

If so you could get a 75 Ohm to 300 Ohm adapter and then a RF Modulator converter.

This way you can feed it composite input without making any internal modifications. Honestly, the modifications sound more fun and would probably have better picture quality, too 😁

I see that card still has DVI-I capability, which is nice. I know they all have to be active adapters to convert the digital to analog, but maybe the ones with their own external power source would work better.

They do such a poor job of listing capabilities, no one can be certain the $90 one would perform any better than the $10 one. Or maybe a $50 one that appears to be externally powered like the one you listed.

If you have component, that is RGB or RGBy, then you have a ton of options. Last Gen game consoles (Xbox 360 / PS 3) to approximately 60 hojillion different Chinese boxes.

Here's one on Amazon for $35 - https://www.amazon.com/Buyee-Portable-Resolution-Auto-play-Loop-play/dp/B00JA8I0NW

The ypbr port is what you're after, although the A/V port will work for standard composite (old yellow only RCA cable). That box even comes with the cables.

Granted it's a cheap POS from China but it will do the job...and more importantly you now know what you're looking for. A media player with RGB / ypbr outputs or one with A/V output.

Set the TV to VHF Channel 3 or 4 and run whatever you want through a demodulator (just like you used to do with your game consoles). You might need a coax to antenna adapter.

If you have RCA cabless you are trying to connect, you need an RF modulator to connect to an Antenna In connection on the TV

If your TV is older (like what you have) and only has VHF terminal connections, then you also need a Matching Transformer

Note: Do not buy the cheap RF modulators on Amazon because some of them are very cheap knock off brands that don't work correclty. I made this mistake a couple times.
