I've got a chinese converter(from ebay,

will take 15khz RGB video with composite sync and spit out VGA at ~32khz so
a regular monitor can be used to display the signal.
I'm not at home yet, so I can't check my manuals.
that schematic shows 74LS86,
any reason why you want to switch to HCT ?
I have boatloads of 86's and LS86's
That schematic is VGA->RGBS which is the opposite.
I use that converter board too. It does goes down to 15khz, that's how
arcades are converted to use LCD's. But I haven't used it yet with my 1000.
What I understand is that you would want to use this to be able to display
the unsupported screenmodes at the varying scan freq's.
They do make a Amiga RGB to VGA Monitor Adapter for alot cheaper, about $25

The Amiga is 31.5Khz. I was looking to get one for my 1000. But since this
is a straight wired adapter, it only supports the OS supported screen modes
at the one scan freq.
This is the rgb connector pinout if you want to wire it
