Title: Failure---Success story!!!
Post by: southpaw13 on April 27, 2008, 07:08:49 pm

So I bought a Wells Gardner 7700 CRT 19" monitor.  While testing, I cracked the neck of the tube!!!!  So being a little upset, I sat it on the side and was going to order a new tube on Monday.   I had a pretty new 19" TV laying around the basement, so I cracked it open and flipped out the tube.  Of course the screen was flipped so I had more work to do.  I decided to search this forum on yoke flipping and I found out which wires to flip around.  After about 5 minutes of trial and error, I got everything working!!!!  So thanks to everyone that contributes and always remember to use the "forum search" first before asking questions....

Thanks everyone,
Southpaw

You cracked the yoke, or the neck?
