Actually the NeXT monitors (color) only use the three coaxial leads from
the slab, the rest terminate on the 19 pin D shell connector that plugs
into the soundbox. Splicing the D-shell into the Sun cable is too mucxh
trouble. Checking ebay tonight showed me:

This is a reasonable price and would make you slab all original as well
as not risking damage to your hardware with a bad/wrog connection.
Remember, the NeXT monitor port also carries + and -12v at several amps
to power the sound box and power for the old monochrome monitor.

Thanks to your help, I now know what I need - I need
the three headed
cable with two 13W3 connectors and one DB-19. ( this thing -
http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/nextcolor/monitor_cable.jpg ) I
have scoured the internet looking for the pinout of this cable, but to
no avail. I did find some information about the monochrome slabs, but
it doesn't help me very much. There doesn't seem to be much out there
about the color NeXTStations at all. Anyway, if anyone has the pinout
of that monitor cable, it would be much appreciated. It shouldn't be
too hard to add the extra connector to the old Sun monitor cable I
already have. All the pins on the Sun cable do go straight through,
and there are wires for all of them, I checked with a multimeter. Thanks!
