Thanks ChickenMan and Someone for the advice 
, especially regarding power
I will try and figure out the monitor/cable connection. Will do a bit of reading/reviewing to figure it out.
But as is the usual - I am very time poor at the moment - probably not gonna get to it until March - ho -humm
Will update here when I do the first power on test - will shield my eyes in case a cap goes bang!

I just had a closer look at the cables - stupid me - yeap there is a 5 pin din connector - with a barrel connector - which appears to be for power, an RCA - guess that's the comp video, and 2 3.5mm sockets - guess there for cassette. A red and a blue one - dont know which is input/output though - so i guess i can connect this to the Monitor - but for colour i would need to get the CGA interface going
So how does the colour output work ... Is it 2 completely separate systems? and you switch from one to the other? Or does the composite include the colour signal?
Maybe I might find a little bit of time tomorrow to do a power on test.
