>Sorry I haven't been inside RadioShack for a few years, they probably don't even sell radios! (Or any kind of circuitry for that matter)
They do have some electronics stuff for sale, but it's the equivalent of a convenience store in that regard; Prices can be quite stupid.

Those various circuits look fine, but the problem comes in how to implement it. I don't want to have installed directly within my breakout cable, because I don't know how it will react to being fed an already clean composite sync signal rather than composite video.
Building a middle man cable would require buying cabling and SCART hoods, or buying and tearing apart an extension and trying to go from there, which would either add in a stupid amount of length or require completely re-attaching one of the cable ends.
The third (preferable) option would to just a little dongle to toss in between the breakout cable's sync line and the monitor. This, however, introduces the problem of powering it and additional parts. I have little boards I could mount the chip to, but nothing sizable enough to to include something like BNC connectors.

I'm wondering if one of those little SCART audio breakout connectors would be able to be opened up to install in there. That would work well for the first bit, make it easily removable from the setup as needed.

Alternatively, what would be the proper way to install a switch to go between having cvid from the console or csync from the lm1881?

Also, the cable.
