I have an "old" TV that is not smart, i.e. it uses co-ax cables as opposed to any HDMI or similar connections. Is there a way that I can use the Roku player on this TV?

Not directly, no.
If it has Composite (RCA) or S-Video input ports/connectors, you could get an HDMI>Composite/S-Video adapter fpr $10-15 and connect it that way.
e.g. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=HDMI+composite+adapter&ref=nb_sb_noss
or https://www.amazon.com/s?k=hdmi+to+s-video+adapter
There are HDMI to coaxial adapters, but they are more expensive ($40-60)
No current model Roku player has analog outputs. Some people have had success using an analog-HDMI adapter. But apparently not all are capable of converting the signal properly.
This is an example of what I am referring to. I make no claim that this specific model will work with a Roku player. But based on its specifications, it should.
