Title: Centipede -- replace electrhome mon with wellsGardner - -help!!!
Post by: dlykins on August 11, 2004, 09:43:03 pm
HELP!!

Ok..I got my NEW WellsGardner monitor today for my 1981 vintage Centipede. Its a WellsGmonitor model:  WGZ1973-H0G539L
Old monitor was an electrohome:  chassis:  G07CB0 product:  38-G079-04-I0   CRT:  19vmnp22

However now I have a connector issue.

The Sync cable from the centipede board has only 6 pins but the new board calls for 10 pins???  

also, how do I match up the proper pins??  I don't have a schematic from the original board so I have no idea what pin does what???

Can I damage the monitor board by plugging in the wrong sync signal ??

Ok, you just need to wire it up.

Signal-----Pin Number.

RED---1
GREEN---2
BLUE---3
GND(UsuallyBlack)--4
Sync--10.

and that should do it.

1. pink wire with white stripe
2. red wire with white stripe
3. yellow wire with blue stripe
4. yellow wire with blue or green stripe?
5. yellow wire with red stripe
6.  yellow wire with ?? stripe?

The colors I mentioned were the signals.. (except the black.)


The g07 has the 4 together (rgbg) and then the sync. Usually split.
(Postive sync is located with the rgb and negative sync is located above).

Try plugging in the connector and see what happens.. You are not going to hurt it.


Also grab a copy of the manual with pinouts for the g07 at

and the wells pinout at.

Then just matchup from where you took them off to where they go.
