I am seeing a 26" SONY TRINITRON KX-2501A monitor for cheap in my local ads. Searching the net a little I think I saw year of construction beeing 1983. Pretty old but apparently a good monitor. I am worying about the connexion though. I only found this page with some information on the third page. The RGB thing is what I think some people use is that right ?

That monitor has RGB connections on a strange looking connector with a lot of pins.  You will either have to find a connector for sale, make one, or pay a member here to make one.  But I do think you could use this as an arcade monitor.

This monitor should be of very high quality if it is in good shape.  It will be 15khz only.

- could be tricky finding the pinout for that.

- it's old. Make sure you see it run for at least a half hour.
