Then you just get a male DB15 plug and single ended housing. Use the ohm function of your test meter to map the pins to the wires inside the monitor, cut the old plug off and solder up the new. If you can't find that sort of plug for cheap then you must live in the backwoods someplace where they don't even have a Radio Shack. I've even seen some PC joystick "Y" adaptors with two female and one male connector and snap together housings that could be converted. Dirt cheap too, like under $5. There's also mail order like www.mouser.com or www.digikey.com and lots of others. Many will ship as little as one item, no matter how cheap or small.
