I'll soon be powering up a HP 9000/310 (98561-66525) but do not have an a
single monochrome monitor.
Suggestions ?

I've had success with a NEC MultiSync LCD2090UXi monitor, which can be
configured on an input-by-input basis (at least for its analogue lines) to
render image in shades of grey, either by weighing RGB inputs in the usual
manner or solely from the green line. I take it both separate sync and
composite signalling are supported although I have only used it with the
latter (EIA-343A i.e. 1V p-p analogue). The LCD2190UXi does the same I'm
told, although I haven't used it myself.
So if your system uses analogue signalling, then one of these might be
worth trying. I can't help if your system uses TTL output.

I have a couple of boards/boxes I've purchased on ePay that do a good job
of reducing my dependency on CRTs. My frame doubler was around $80, and
another board that does a lot of format conversion (including various RGB
combos) for about $25. Sometimes I keep the CRTs for historical reasons,
but I dislike running them routinely because of the real estate they
consume! Also, some are just getting a bit dim.... -- Ian
