Since I got no response, I went ahead and did a test. You
may be (or maybe not) interested to note that the monitor
in question is configured for Apple /// XRGB, which means
it hooks up directly to an Apple /// and delivers beautiful
accurate colors. The cable is a 15-wire straight through,
male to female.
The monitor also has a DIN-8 connector. Any guesses what
computer would have used this type RGB in 1982? Anyone
care about old personal computers, or just DECs?

Well, for $2 I picked up an Electrohome RGB monitor,
Model
38-G12003-60, made by JVC in Japan in 1982.
By the looks of the case colors and the connector, my guess
is that this is an Apple II/III monitor. My real hope is
this is one of the few monitors that can hook up directly
with an Apple III, and produce the right RGB colors without
any adapter.
Does anyone know? Does the pinout of the RGB connector
match that of an Apple III? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
