There was a nice video by perifractic of retro recipes showing a very tiny mod on a Commodore 64 that allows to supposedly sync with a 1701 or a 1702 monitor.
I'm going by memory so you would have to look that up and test it yourself but it's certainly seemed plausible. I would explore that first TBH.

For the last 4 years, I only ran into one PAL 1071 monitor; bought it, fixed it up and sold it recently. The unit was 220v, it was an oddball, it had U.S prongs instead of european. Chance of finding a PAL 1084 in North America, best to import it.

I assume you mean 1084S and composite (component is 3 wire, composite is just 1. LCA would be 2 wire which is commonly used with a C64).
A north american 1084S does not support PAL, only NTSC. In my experience connecting a PAL device did give a display but in BW only, no colour.

Hi. Which monitor should I use with a PAL Commodore 64 in Canada? My 1054S monitor doesn't work with it. I used component input to the monitor.
