I had a sears tv back in the day with my 128, It had a tuner, composite and rgb using that same connector.
I am not so sure about that. the monitor clearly says "RGB" for that port
I have an apple II RGB card which recommends TAXAN RGB capable monitors specifically.Apparently, Taxan RGB monitors used the connector. Maybe you'll be in luck and there will still be some left in stock.
I was talking about Twolazy‘s (and my) Panasonic monitor. (You had replied asking if he’d ever tried an RGB source on it.) It has the same physical plug as yours, but totally different function/wiring. Absolutely not RGB.
(Most common, which isn’t very, consumer use of the plug was interconnecting components of those early modular VCR/Tuner/Camera setups.)
I tried it as well. What the heck, maybe one of them will work?! Thanks again.. (FUNNY SAME PHOTO AS THE OTHER ONE....)Here's another, but I suspect it's also a dead end.

or send it to me with the mouseball as soon as I find you an appropriate modern mouse in trade....Well, if it matters, I had a look in my "big box o' weird connectors" and found the connector and the backshell. Only labeling on the backshell is "TAIWAN" and "TTT".
Maybe I should put it up on that auction site with @@@RARE@@@?
How do you know it has a different pinout?BTW here is another monitor (Sanyo DMC8500) with a different RGB pinout from both MSX and the first one I posted.
Thats why I posted the picture. The board may be quite similar.I took another look and the Sanyo DMC8500 is the same as the Orion CCM-1280, just the connector is flipped in the diagram. The MSX pinout is still different though.
The back of that BMC looks very similar to the Sanyo...
