I looked at this thing again today, before having received your message.
The connector labeled "analog" appears to be for a cable having about 25
pins. Also, in addition to the five or six little knobbies in the back,
there are also about five little switches, all labeled with abbreviations
that make very little sense to me.

I know what an RCA connector looks like. The rf connector is of about
the same external diameter as an RCA connector, but it is designed to
accept a much smaller center conductor. The connector is not threaded,
but it has a "bayonet lug" type of fitting on the outside.
Thanks for your thoughts on what this dinosaur might possibly be good for.
I'm not going to mess with it until I can either get some kind of manual
or find someone who is experienced in using such a monitor as this.
