    Very old monitors had a RG59u connector or a RCA phone jack, These have cga Composite signal, practically all have been scrapped by now, you may be lucky by trying a computer recycle store if you have any in your area.

    When you say you plugged it into a TV do you mean antena in or video in.
    If it is going to work it will have to be video in.
    This is the case on Allen Bradley 8200 and 8400's CNC controls.

    Thanks Hillbilly and Al,
    I will try it in the video socket.
    Al, I do have a spare monitor off an old BBC PC I will try that.
    thank you
