Actually it takes more than a cable, it takes some active circuitry too.
I have found that the composite video from my A1300 GenLock is *lots*
better than the composite video coming out of the machine. All in all
you might be better off taking that route. 

One for Commodore : Any chance that you folks would make a RGB -> Monochrome
adapter that plugs into the A1000 RGB port? I suppose I could buy a 500 and
transfer my files over there, but I really want to know how a tool I wrote 
in Hires looks on it's mono output.
