300 ohm to 75 ohm balun, coax, screw type

Does anyone know where I can find a 300 ohm to 75 ohm balun that is a screw type for attaching FM dipole antenna to my new-to-me tuner? It has a screw type female coax plug in the back for an 75 ohm antenna inout. I am seeing plenty of push-on versions, but can't find a screw in version. I also looked for adapters that would convert the screw type plug I have one my tuner to one that'll take a push-on balun, but can't find that either :(

Currently I have small length coax cable screwed in and can get FM, but the signal strength is low and is not clean. Please help find me an antenna!

Got a Radio Shack nearby?

Push-on coax connections work just fine with the threaded connectors. Nothing to worry about.

I do have a RadioShack nearby, but they did not have *anything* :( Thanks for confirming that push-on connectors work fine. IF that's the case, then this is going to be *easy*.
 
Why not just get a cheap rabbit ears that uses a coax connector? That way there is no need for a balun.
 
Try Home Depot, Menards or Lowes in the electrical departments where they have the home antenna and distributed wiring stuff.
