3w3 to bnc video connection

It is a really quick and dirty solution, if you've already got the 3 BNC
cables. 9 pieces of shrink tubing and 15 seconds for each of 6 solder
joints and one's on his way.

However, I get the impression that the 3 BNC's are not the problem.
Probably the most sensible thing to do is to remove the cable from the
monitor and replace it with a common and ubiquitous cable that can be bought
and replaced as needed. If DEC made it it's probably designed to be costly
and obtrusive anyway.
