Fixed: Philips VS0080/00
A 1084 style monitor branded for the NMS MSX line of computers by Philips. And as a 1084 style it had the typical problem all those monitors will eventually develop: broken power switch. It's a double pole double throw switch where the latching mechanism relies on a piece of plastic that just breaks after 30 or so years. Don't bother with finding exact replacement parts, they are all NOS and will break after a few years. Try to adapt a more robust switch instead.
The TTL circuitry is unpopulated. I have a different monitor for that, but if you really need TTL on this one, I guess you could add it.
One really annoying thing about this is though that it is electrically mono audio only. The case has provisions for a second speaker, but if you want stereo you'd have to add your own audio amplifier. I might do this eventually.
Bloody cheapskates, really.

Any ideas on what to do with those? They are bycatch with something much cooler

VMEBus cards and documentation/course material on OS9. The only thing I'm missing now is the backplane/frame.
