How are your soldering skills though. There are some VGA-->BNC cables on ebay, I got one last week for 6. You could cut the vga connector off and solder to a 3w3 plug. You should be able to get one through RS or Farnell cheaply
The issue is thus: I(t's a DEC cable with a moulded 3w3 plug and the cable has pulled at the 3w3 end, I suspect the wire has snapped inside the 3w3 plug. I'm getting another cable to prove the VAX is okay first and when I have that working I'll do some surgery on my existing one.
I'de make one up using existing stuff I have if I had any idea where to get 3w3 plugs from, they seem to be like rocking horse doo-doo.

Hi,
I wondered if anyone has a spare 3w3 to 3xBNC (RGB) cable. It appears after a multimeter test that the green wire in mine has broken, the cable insulation has split behind the 3w3 connector so I think the cable has been pulled on and broken.
Make that two. I'm also on the hunt for one. :-)

Thanks,
Mark - there is currently one on eBay unless it's been snapped up.
I can see 3 - all in the USA.
