Whilst in a self-induced trance, SUPRDAVE_at_aol.com happened to blather:

If it's a sub-miniature DB-15, then that sounds like a PC VGA plug-in. If
it's a normal-sized DB-15, then that sounds like it's a direct-connect for
a later-model Smackintosh. (I say this jokingly, I have one...) When I say
later-model, I'm talking a Mac IIsi or something like that, altho I think
the PowerMacs use that connector as well, and I believe it's compatible. (I
had my Mac IIsi hooked up to the monitor we use for a PowerMac 6100/60 at
work, and it worked fine.)

If you're looking to get rid of it, I would pay shipping to Michigan...
yea, it'd be expensive, but if it's a nice tube, it would make my Mac
happy... (all I have is the base, but it only cost me $5 and it works!) Got
a keyboard & mouse to round out the deal??? ;-)

HTH,
