That's news to me! (and to my Rainbows)...
The _colour_ montitor is a standard TV-rate sync-on-green unit. Just
about any similar monitor will work. It doesn't have to be a VR241
The mono monitor (VR201) is actually a standard
composite unit with a
strange connector. When I got my first 'bow, I didn't get a VR201 with
it, so I made up a kludgebox to link it to a normal mono monitor. Worked
fine. Of course I got the right monitor about a week later..

Took me the longest time to acquire a BCC-02 cable for my 'bow,(BCC-03 for
color) not being as intrepid as you Tony. Had the mono monitor VR201 so
maybe that spaceage design with the little drop-down pole to angle the monitor
coupled with the 15pin connector intimidated me. As well as the K-B plug on
the monitor and taking power from the "bow. That was not a minor kludge.
