Anyone know where I might find one of these or some like it? It was bought about ~18 years ago or so from Radio Shack. I'm not sure how many db it attenuates. One end is a mono 3.5mm plug and the other is a female RCA. I bought an attenuation cable from RS with 90db attenuation but its more than I need, so I am guessing the adapter is less than 90db.

I see all kinds of these at dollar stores. Knock offs, not brand name. I've bought several adapters from various dollar/discount stores and they work good enough for me ! BNC to F, 3.5mm mono to 3.5mm stereo...quite useful when using headphones with older scanners, so you don't kill your hearing in your left ear. Check out those stores, never know what you'll find.
