Any Radius Pivot 0194 monitor owners here? I have a fairly simple question

[CircuitBored]

I got my hands on one of these nifty old monitors (and matching SE/30 card) recently. The card works perfectly but the monitor was very badly stored and has needed a fair amount of TLC. I've patched up the PSU so that it no longer instantly detonates the fuse when power is applied. Luckily, the 0194 monitor's PCBs are well-labelled so I have been able to figure out what I think is the pinout for the elusive DB9-DB15 cable that has been so highly sought after. However, I have a question about the normal behaviour of the monitor once it's properly powered.

Does the monitor power up as soon as it is powered or only once a video signal is present? If the former, then I still have some repair work to do. If it's the latter then my pinout isn't quite right yet.

This is a long shot but if you happen to know then please do share!

I have a radius cable 590-00029. On this web page it will work with both the color and b & w pivot.

Unless you have an early b&w

The 0194 monitor that I described was the first Pivot model made and it uses a DB9-DB15 cable, the pinout of which is not listed on any part of the internet that I have found. I believe many others have tried and failed too. I think I have figured out the correct pinout myself but I am unsure, hence this post. Your cable is for the later model Pivots.

Did you ever get that pinout? I'm looking at a 0194 for sale but it does not have the cable.
