(also sent to cctalk, but doesn't look like it came through;
apologies if duplicates)
Some searching on the Color Computer site leads to this:
http://miba51.com/CoCo_VGA_Adpater.html
Roy Justus' converter from 15.7 kHz RGB as generated by a CoCo3 to 31 kHz VGA.
At one point, another was available from Chris Hawks
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.tandy.coco/63638
I have no experience with either, nor any connection except being a
fellow CoCo user.
Hope this helps.

Based on this picture, it appears that it would have RGB BNC connectors.

That implies synch-on-green video signalling. If you don't have a
synch-on-green RGB monitor, then you'll need an adapter to convert
that to VGA (which splits the synch signals out on a separate pin).
These shouldn't be too hard to find because synch-on-green was fairly
common.

I have other Tektronix hardware from this time frame and the video
output tends to be standard RGB (possibly synch-on-green) BNC
connectors.
I'm still pursuing this, but it's taking its time.
Are there any good converters for RGB? Like to VGA?
