Hey guys,
 
I have a commodore 1084S monitor, but at the back end of the monitor there are no ports for the normal yellow composite port. Instead, it have this circle port what looks like an RGB port, circle, but 9 pins. I have another classic computer I want to use it on this monitor, but this classic computer supports the normal yellow composite port. Where can I find a converter that converts the yellow composite port to the 9 pin circle rgb port? Thanks in advance.

I've never heard of a 1084S without a CVBS connector, but then I haven't heard of one with a 9 pin DIN connector either. It's usually a 6 pin DIN connector or a 9 pin D connector.
 
Commodore didn't make monitors, they just stuck the current badge on whatever marginally similar monitors they could lay their hands on.
 
Do you use the monitor already? What is it hooked up to? A picture of the back would be interesting.

You are right mine is 6 pin din connector.
 
Is there an adapter to convert from composite to 6 bin adapter you can guide me through URL link? Thanks.

I can't find anything suitable, it's not something that most people would ever want to do. You might get lucky if you keep looking, but it's going to be easier and probably cheaper to get another monitor.

They are pretty rare, this in only the second one I have seen or heard of.

This one does appear to have composite after all.
 
I don't remember commodore stopping selling the c64 before they went bankrupt. Wikipedia says it was discontinued in April 1994. Although I doubt they sold many monitors to go with them by then.
