[Coco] Perhaps a silly newbie question

Greetings fellow coco enthusiasts:

I was just looking into powering up my new COCO2 and noticed that unlike my
COCO3, it does not have a composite video out.  I have a composite monitor
(actually 2 of them) and was not sure if I can actually hook it (the 2) up
to the monitor without an intermediary box... in other words, is the TV out
the same as composite?

If not, what do I need to hook it to the monitor?  Thanks for the help in
advance.

===============================

Correct, the CoCo 2 did not come stock with a monitor output.  Even the new 
digital TVs won't work with them.  There are several adapter designs online. 
IIRC; there are some on the Maltedmedia site.  Most use a couple transistors 
and less than a half dozen components in total.  They don't have to be 
assembled to look pretty either.
