How old is it? I recently had to change the screen out of a mid-90s SCM 220, and foudn tha tit was just a simple VGA plug. That said, if it's pre-'88ish, it'll most likely be some weird composite wiring instead.

Come to think of it, there's a chance it might be an old DE-9 CGA/EGA connection, in which case I wish you good fortune in finding a replacement one, because they are not what I'd call common these days.

it is inverted mga

if you hook up the wires from an old monochrome pc monitor is will come up with a bright screen with dark letters and a visible retrace.

somewhere someone has an LCD replacement for like a grand

try replacing every cap in the monitor
