Ouch. Talk about proprietary stuff. At least on my Vaxstation 3100-30, the
video port is a formerly standard 15 pin plug. But that 3W3 connector seems
quite bizarre.

Looks like 3 conductors inside the plug (R G and B, and a shared neutral (the casing).

If you get that cable, you can then take the other end which will give you RGB
+ and - for each colour, and go from then to make your VGA connector.
Remember that your monitor needs SYNC ON GREEN.
