Just to clarify, the vido adapter i've built is to take VGA signal out
from a modern computer and send it to a monochrome Apple display. Not
the other way around.
The only caveat is that you have to set your video card or driver to
sync to NTSC instead of VGA, but that's easily handled with software
like SwitchResX ( http://www.madrau.com/SRXv3/html/SRX/About.html )
As an alternate, you could just swap the actual CRT to one with the
inputs you want.
I was lucky, when I built the macminitosh I was able to find a bolt-in
tube from a POS display, monochrome with white phosphor even.

You'd be hard pressed to find a monochrome green phosphor vga display,
but maybe not.
On that note I'm in the process of swapping caps on a Monitor II that I
rescued from a compost pile.
