I may have one, I'll have a look over the weekend. 

How are your soldering skills though. There are some VGA-->BNC cables on ebay, I got one last week for   6. You could cut the vga connector off and solder to a 3w3 plug. You should be able to get one through RS or Farnell cheaply

The issue is thus: I(t's a DEC cable with a moulded 3w3 plug and the cable has pulled at the 3w3 end, I suspect the wire has snapped inside the 3w3 plug. I'm getting another cable to prove the VAX is okay first and when I have that working I'll do some surgery on my existing one.

I'de make one up using existing stuff I have if I had any idea where to get 3w3 plugs from, they seem to be like rocking horse doo-doo.
