While I don't have my VIC-20 manual (and pin diagrams) ready, I seem to
remember that the 64's video/audio port has its pins in a slightly
different configuration. You could try getting a DIN connector to fit
your VIC-20, then splice-and-butcher your monitor cable.
I had a somewhat similar issue when I made my own monitor cable for my 64.
The DIN connector I got from Radio Shack had the right number of pins, but
they were slightly off (probably no more than .5 millimeter) and wouldn't
fit at all.
