Take a spare RCA cable and connect it to the lower RCA connections on the Cable Cooker
RW....there is no need to add a second cable to the second set of RCA's. The top pair of RCA's work independently from the others, and will show continuity with a properly soldered set of adaptors. :--}
Good call with the HDMI cable shown above....however, the "trick" is sorting out all 19 (!!) conductors, and bundling them properly. One must make certain the positive leads and negative leads are neatly separated, combined, and soldered to their appropriate destinations to achieve good continuity. 19 is a heck of a lot of conductors to deal with.

Yes,Alan,I understand 19 is a big bundle,but I will be dealing with about half that number into each Hot And Ground on the RCA connector...
I have solved this problem before by inserting a short larger gauge insulated stranded wire into each bundle so it sticks out the front. The larger stranded insulated wire should be the maximum gauge the the RCA connector can handle,this way it is not the weakest link to the adapter...
After each bundle is soldered I slip a piece of Heat Shrink over each bundle and then connect the single stranded insulated wire to each of the Hot and Ground connections on the RCA connector...
Then I will take a larger diameter piece of Heat Shrink and cover both Hot and Ground bundles. Then do the same to the other HDMI Adapter...

I still don't get how you're going to attach/solder this larger gauge conductor to the various leads of the HDMI cable....
All wires are stripped and Pre-tinned with Cardas Quad Eutectic Silver Solder...
I use a Soldering Jig to hold the wires steady...
Then add a little more heat from my Hakko 936 Soldering Station to the bundle...
Very interesting Radio Wonder & Alan.
Great pics- Radio Wonder.
