There are no more monitors in the 8CM1515/1CM135/Commie 108X category 
being made.  There are no more tube monitors beong made except for some 
big chinese knockoffs, I'm looking at a 19" right now.  A used one from 
the pawn shop maybe, or an svga monitor and Roy's adaptor would be 
another suggestion.  I'm using that solution on my coco3 myself.
