Eventually, I picked up some surplus Daisy 20"

converter that converted the separate sync to SOG.
Not much more than a
74LS86 and some resistors.
I used to add the seperate syncs to the green input
with a resistor, don't remember the value. Was that a
mistake lol? I don't recall any problems.
Jettisoned those around 1995 and picked up some
surplus (I think HP) Sony
monitors--a 17" and a 20" and did the same. I
Still got a few of my own, including the nicer IBM
branded units that were slightly older then the
typical 19" GDM-1950s (I'm guessing those are the ones
you have). I've been wanting a (or several) large
screen B & W monitors ever since I got rid of my
Viking? Moniterm? unit I had on my old Mac II. The
thing had some noticeable screen burn, but was still a
pleasure to look at, being sharp as a tack.
Anyone got any of the biguns?
I meant to get an InColor card, but enhanced EGA and
then VGA just rendered
the issue moot.
Now that would be a collectible item. How stupid
though, right about the time the EGA came out, and
IIRC synced to an EGA monitor. Good luck finding one though...
