Default Scart to VGA lead

Morning chaps,

This is driving me mad. I have an old Panasonic freeview recorder which I want to connect to a VGA monitor. The monitor is connected to various VGA devices via a 4 way switch box. I bought leads from eBay and Amazon, none work. I do understand that not all SCART devices have the RGB pins connected. According to the Panasonic manual, the recorder has RGB output on SCART 1. I opened up the SCART connectors on both leads, guess what,both are wired completely different. So, then I thought, I have at least the SCART plugs and VGA leads to make me own, so I googled for a suitable schematics, found some, guess what, they are different as well. Some are quite complex, using NPN transistors to boost the RGB signals. Before go any further, I ask has any forum member ever made a SCART to VGA adaptor and can share the schematics, please?

Thanks,

Stef.

You may ask why not use a proper telly:the answer is simply no more space. And I want to know how to make an adaptor.
