I've got a
working VT1200 minus mouse and video cable.
I was going to cobble one up with some RG6 and a BNC connector and
an N connector (if that's really an N connector) but I'd really rather
I thought it was a TNC connector (like a BNC but screw lock, not
bayonet). I've certainly seen TNC connectors for the video output on DEC
X terminals.
find the right cable and spend more time enjoying
the toy rather than
fixing it.
I guess this depends on the contents of your workbench, but in my case it
would probably take less time to solder up the cable than to look at the
catalogues to see who might sell one...

Well, I went off to Rat Shack and picked up a lousy solderless TNC for
RG58 and a BNC to F adapter and had to find a dollar store for the RG59
since RG6 wouldn't fit the damned adapter and cut the 6' video cable and
made a 3' video cable for the VT1200.
Looks like a long and annoying way to do anything because by the time I
mail ordered solder-on TNC's and BNC's I'd be up to my tail in wait
times and shipping charges.
I probably could've used one of my BNC RG59's and the TNC connector
but I figured 75 Ohm Coax was called for with video.
Now to find a DEC mouse so I can put this one back on the VaxStation.
