TV/RF connector pinout?

I was wondering if anyone knows what the pinout for the TV/RF connector is. It could be useful in making a SCART cable for the PCjr- an ECGA DAC could be housed in a small project box, with two cables going to the PCjr for power (off the TV/RF connnector) and audio/video (off the regular video port) and a SCART cable going out of the box. I built a similar setup for my Commodore 128 and it's proven to be pretty convenient.

Page 3-86 of the IBM PCjr Technical Reference has this information. Pinout for the TV Connector contains +12 volts, composite video, audio, logic ground, and shield ground.

This is probably not what you want for decent video; the display connector gives you access to the TTL RGBI pins which you can use with a converter such as the gglabs cga2rgb.
