I told this situation to another collector friend that mentioned something about that while those two monitors are plug compatible with each other and with the game, there is some adjustment, some resistor or capacitor you need to replace, or you will have a problem and blow the monitor.

never heard that,
check the manuals to compare the voltages.
the input cant do it, so you just need to compare the supply.

personally, it sounds like BS and you just learned not to trust old stuff.
i could be wrong of course (about the BS, not the not trusting old stuff :) )
