[Coco] 15kHz LCD monitors for the Coco

[Kandur]

My experience was similar to yours.
I managed to modify a Heathkit color TV 
to accept rgb and sync signals from the Coco.
The characters on the 80 column screen looked great.
What do you think, could I modify this monitor
fairly easily to accept rgb and sync signals from the Coco?
