Expression and monitors

I currently work in a theater and we have an ETC Expression. The console itself still works really well and is solid, the problem I am running into now is the monitor. Since its all the old CGA (9 pin plug) format the board does not work with any new monitors (15 pin VGA).

What I was wondering is if anyone knew of a place out there where you can still find these old format monitors to use with the board.

Or has anyone had any success with a CGA to VGA adapter which would allow me to use a newer monitor?

Unfortunately the theater does not have enough money to replace the board as a whole so I have to find other solutions.

I work at a theater that is in the same situation. The best place that I have found to get a CGA monitor is on ebay. I kept looking and I ended up getting one for a reasonable price. I have not been able to find any CGA to VGA adapters that worked reliably. The other place that I looked was at a local university that had some sitting in a warehouse. Unfortunately none of them worked.
