I picked up a used PAX Power Glove but there were two pieces inside the that don't seem to go to it. 



I know the first is the cover for the Famicom's expansion port.  But I don't know what the cable goes to.  I've never come across a Red/Yellow/White-Yellow/black cable before, and Google is (surprisingly) not very helpful.

Looks like RCA cables. Usually used for Audio and Video (AV). The yellow is used for video and the red and white ones are right and left audio lines. Don't you have a Famicom with AV ports? If so you are probably using these kind of cables to hook it up to the TV. Or are you using an RF-switch? I have never seen that the Power Glove is using RCA cables for anything though so I guess it's a freebie along with the expansion port cover.

Thanks!  But is it normal for one side to have yellow/black bits?  It's usually yellow/white, no?

An RCA cable is an RCA cable.  The colors are just there to let you know which end matches up with the other end.

Into the pile it goes, then.  :) Thanks a ton, guys!
