I am imagining SCART to RCA (red-white-yellow trio) using an adapter you don’t have, RCA to S-VIDEO (9-pin VIVO connector) via Mystery Cable #16 then S-VIDEO to the TV-Box then the TV-Box’s VGA to the monitor.
I have an RCA-to-SCART connector that goes between my PowerBook and iPod dock and a SCART input on my steam-powered TV; assuming it works in both directions, you would use it to get from SCART on the VCR to RCA.
There are connector photos on Wikipedia’s list of display interfaces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_display_interfaces) that might help.
