So far the best resource I have found on fixed-freq monitors is
http://rugmd0.chem.rug.nl/~everdij/hitachi.html
It talks mainly about the Hitachi HM-4119 Series (like mine) but has many
links to other places talking about other fixed-freq monitors, including
several links to places with circuits for sync-on-green monitors (which
yours most likely is, since it has only 3 BNC plugs - Red Green and Blue)
