Snagged this from a local eBay listing, not sure what the model is though. Someone told me on Reddit that it may be a D7700.
Been researching about what kind of power supply/isolation transformer is needed - any advice? I'm planning on having it output to a PC using CRTEmudriver. Can take some more pics if necessary.

No isolation transformer is needed for this model. The big yellow cube on the second to last picture is an onboard transformer that handles this. Never hurts to run one in a cab or via test rig, but you shouldnt blow anything up without one.

Rad, thanks so much! I assume this power cable linked below would suffice? And in terms of video output, I want to bridge the monitor to a PC - there seems to be RBG/CGA/EGA to VGA adapters out there but I am a little lost in terms of what to connect to the video-sync on the monitor's board. Do I just run the cables on the converter through a molex connector and then plug that in? I attached some pictures of the power molex, the video sync input, and the converter. I found this tutorial that breaks down the video sync wiring but am unsure if it applies to my monitor http://arcadecontrols.com/BBBB/sync.html

The linked power cable has a different connector than what your chassis has. You want this connector instead. Do not forget to get pins with it too.
Using a PC as the video source, the converter you posted does the opposite of what you are looking to do. You need to go from VGA (31k from the PC) to CGA (15k to the monitor). Now there is a mod to the gnobes (the converter you posted) that would allow for this but that is not a plug and play solution. See more here. This is your manual. Either way you will need video connector too.
