I have a Leading Technologies Monitor Model #1270A and also a Blue Chip Model #BCM-12G, what type of monitors are they? MDA, TTL, etc. ?
I'm trying to buy another monitor that is compatible with either one of these.

Good luck! They are both MDA monochrome monitors, and I have not seen a new one of those in about 15 years. Most multiscan color monitors will work OK, giving a green display, but the cable pinout has to match. These monitors used a DB-9 plug like the CGA or EGA monitors, but the pinouts are different. This might require a custom cable or adapter to an existing monitor cable.
