we offer such a converter with female RCAs, but that shouldn't be a problem. 
It's intended to attach your C= computer to devices with S-Video inputs. Just 
visit the X1541 Shop at http://sta.c64.org/x1541shop.html.

How's the picture if you attach composite to the Luma input only? I don't 
know of any commercial converters, but rebuilding the filter circuit from 
e.g. a 1084 should be possible.

Another possibility might be the addition of an S-Video out for the VIC-20. I 
think the VIC itself has both outputs.
