Radius Monitors

Hi all. Here's a monitor question for the history books. I have 2 Radius TPD/19's. They're dated June 1990. The video input is a single BNC connector. At one time they were used for Radius Macintosh PC clones, now, even on those old clones, thy're unreadable when connected.

I removed the rear cover, and found somewhere in the vicinity of about 10-12 adjustment POTS. None had any effect. I'm assuming these are fixed frequency monitors, once used for CAD stuff.

Here's the question, how do I get them to display properly, it seems completely out of sync, a single horizontal bar about 4 inches high in the screen, but messed up, like I can see that there is the displayed stuff there, just completely unreadable. I had this problem with a vga arcade monitor once, and the little pots inside the monitor on the curcuit board sorrected the problem, even worked on an old PC monitor. I just can't get these to respond.

Any help would be appreciated.

If I get no help, I'll sell them to anyone who can make use of them. I thought they'd make great monitors for MAME cabs.
