Modifying a B&W TV for composite video input

I have read a lot about the SWTPC TV Typewriter, and I am interested in
how people modified a black and white TV for a video monitor. I have an
old black and white set that I thought would be fun to modify for use
as a video monitor. Now, granted, I don't really need another composite
monitor, I have plenty of old Apple monitors that will do the same
thing, I just thought it would be fun, since it would be a challenge to
find where to input the signal and how to do it. I found the PDF of
part of the SWTPC TV Typewriter manual on a web site, and it explains
the process, although not in great detail, and references a circuit
diagram of what needed to be added, but the diagram is nowhere to be
found. Does anyone have any instructions or hints that they may be able
to give me? Has anyone done this before? Any advice would be
appreciated.
