Crap ... lost my posting ... sorry for the delay ...
I was reading your other thread:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=82590.msg862510#msg862510
grantspain posted the pinout (assuming you do have a Hantarex Polo) and, based on your reply below his, the colours in the wiring harness do align with the pinout.
So, match colours for Red, Green and Blue. Connect Ground to Ground (black from your monitor; connects to 3rd pin from the left on the green connector from the picture that grantspain provided). Then twist the two VGA sync wires together and attach to the white wire from your monitor (pin 1 on the green connector).
Sorry to make this so difficult -- I didn't have enough info until I found your other thread.
