8liners chassis question.
« on: June 06, 2009, 07:37:29 am »
I just recieved the chassis I ordered from 8liners website. It's a wei-ya 1220h.
I'm preparing to connect it to the tube I have, but the chassis didn't include any documentation.

There are 2 sets of connector pins on the board to plug the yoke wires into.
Which set of pins should I plug the connector into?



There is also a single pin next to the connector where the red wire is plugged into the board.
Do I connect the tubes ground strap to that pin?



Also, do I have to make any adjustments to the B+ pot, or is it properly adjusted from the factory?

I dont know about the ground strap question, but I had a monitor that had 2 sets of inputs like that. One way made the picture normal, the other way flipped the picture upside down.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

The red jumper wire is to select one of the two pins that set the width range: (N) narrower or (W) wider. You'll see the N and W markings on the board next to each post. Set the jumper wire to one or the other that gives the best width adjustment range on your picture. DO NOT connect a ground wire to these pins as you'll destroy the chassis immediately upon power up.

There are two sets of yoke connector pins on the chassis. One set gives a normal picture and the other gives a mirror image to use the monitor in cabinets that bounce the picture off of a mirror like Terminator 2. Only unplug/plug this connector when the power is off or damage will occur.

Do I connect the tubes ground strap to that pin?

Typically the ground strap goes up to the neckboard.
I say typically because I'm not familiar with that particular chassis.

Also, do I have to make any adjustments to the B+ pot, or is it properly adjusted from the factory?

Leave it alone.
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

Thanks. I think I got it now.
I didn't see the pin on the neck board.
