It is one of those press on connectors that goes on the end of rg 59 cable.
They also will work with type F connectors. The plug part will work with a
F connector which is threaded. I'm not sure what the RCA look-alike plug is
called but they are found on the little transformers that come with
receivers so you can use a dipole antenna.

It sounds to me like it has a Motorola type connector which was often used
for car radio antennas. you should be able to buy an F connector to mail
Motorola connector.

This tuner has antenna connecters that look like oversized RCA

anyone know the name of the connector type I've described on
the back of my tuner so I know what to order from my local
electronics store?
Stange Japanese (probably Yamaha unique) connector. According to
a post on another forum, they originally came with their own
adaptors. You might get away with a push-on F connector (bent
about a bit) if the centre pin is the right size.
If all else fails, take the sockets out and replace them with
something more usable.
