I have a CNC lathe eBay special that I'm trying to get running. It has a 9" green screen monitor that is giving me a vertical bar approximately 3/4" wide from the top to the bottom of the screen. There are 12V power wires going to the monitor and a 4 signal wires. The 4 signal wires are supposed to be H sync, V sync, video, and a common. I checked the monitor OEM and they can sell me a replacment for $1,300!
I'm trying to figure out a way to use a different monitor, any ideas? I thought perhaps a 9" Monochrome VGA monitor, or perhaps there is some kind of signal converter to give me a composite video output. Anyone here familiar with video signals and what this may be compatible with?
Here's a link to the OEM unit

Of course repair is an option but I hate to be tied to a monitor that costs $1,300 to replace, I'd prefer to convert to something more reasonable.Thanks!
