Post by: danatlvc on December 24, 2013, 12:59:26 PM
I recently replaced a 13" CRT monitor I'm my slant top. Works great, but all thr wording is backwards/inside out? Anyone know what I need to switch or change on the chassis or neck to correct? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks."

your monitor is for a game where the tv mounts the other way, you can move 4 wires on York to flip and  change pic's , I don't know  which wire go where  I only done it on w/g  monitors , I'm sure someone here know  which

Is it a 4 wire plug coming off the coil on your crt? Colors of red, blue, yellow, brown? I've done it before but it's been a while.. You can try swapping the two out side wires on the plug first, then the two inside ones.. It's just finding the right order.. What colors and order were on the old crt plug?

I don't know what color wires you have but ultimately it should't matter. There should be 4 wires on the plug going to the yoke. One pair, for horizontal drive, will be a thicker wire than the other pair which supply vertical drive. Where your picture is backwards you have a horizontal issue. If it was upside down you would have a vertical issue, so swap the horizontal or thicker pair of wires. That's what I'd do. It's a wire coil, it doesn't really care which direction the power runs through it, but swapping those wires is akin to swapping wires on an electromagnet to reverse the polarity
