Welcome!  Very cool article.  :)

It was a bit tough to tell from the pictures, but was the 1901 a rebadged Philips CM8833?  I have one of those (Magnavox branded) I had considered adding Analog RGB output to, it's been a while since I looked inside, but I believe it had a space for a SCART plug as well.

...I was NOT the popular husband that night, as the smoke was extremely smelly; a bit like rotten fish mixed with the smell of old fart };-S

Gotta love the smell of burning electronics  ;)

No the 1901 was made by Thomson...: http://gona.mactar.hu/Commodore/monitor/Commodore_monitors_by_model_number.html

The CM8833 schematics are easy to find. I think you should be able to add a SCART pretty easily.
