Calling all electronics geniuses

I have a 4 wheel tracking machine, quite old but in working condition.
It uses a BBC Cub monitor to give a display of the graphics etc.
Not long after I bought it the monitor went so I bought another on ebay.
I had to mess around with the input as the wiring is different.
The only way I can get it to work is (after trying all combinations of the wires) is a very poor high contrast picture.
I would like to get this right, so can any gurus out there come around and fix it or suggest a conversion or different monitor?
In exchange I will pay or you might want to take advantage of using the equipment to set up your car (or both).

Cheers Martin

Think I may have a monitor in the loft that may work...

Was the Philips model that replaced the CUB for general use in education

You're welcome to pop over and give it a shot...

Steve, that would be brilliant!
I also have a sat nav for Garyo in Reading and I could tie both up together!

I will leave this post up in case anyone else has some info on these monitors as the cub ones changed so hence my problem.

A big thank you to rf900rush who not only bought over an acorn monitor, but also fixed my lead using an oscilloscope so that I now have a fully functioning 4 wheel tracking machine!
