ZX80 ZX81 Video options.

Hi all,
I have a ZX80 and a ZX81(my first computer in the 80's) I need help to connect them both to a CRT. The problem is the CRT screen is a production monitor. Its inputs are RGB/BNC, composite and svideo.
I would really like to not have to get them composite modded so i can keep them in their original state. I know they both work because i can get them working on an lcd. I however dont like the look. I use the monitor for my Commodores, my Harlequin board, my zx spectrum that does have composite mod and also for retro mame gaming with an arcade vga. It works really well for these and i would really like to try convert the signal without the modification. The ZX80 is already slightly cracked around the plastic rivets so i dont want to open it up.
Can it be done? If not, what are my other options?
Cheers.
