New CRT monitor is showing mirror image

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Yesterday I installed a new CRT monitor in my CNC milling machine and the image is upside down and mirrored.

Unfortunately I bought it 5 months ago and it has a 90 warrantee from date of purchase. I think perhaps some wires were soldered to the board in the wrong location, but that is just my guess.

Anybody know of a place where I can take it in to get tweaked? It seems that everybody only works on LCD screens now.

It doesn't happen to be a windows based machine does it?

No it is not. 1998 Haas VF series machine

Probably any old time tv repair place. If it is magnetic deflection, like a tv, it sounds like the wires to the yoke (the coils that move the spot on the screen) got swapped. You might look, if the wires plug into something, maybe the plug got put in backwards.

The wires come from a jobberdoo that goes around the neck of the crt. Be careful poking around crt as there is high voltage in some areas.

Find the wires from the yoke and see if they go to a connector or connectors.

The other possible solution is to rotate the whole yoke on the crt by 180 degrees. Depends on if it is glued on. Might be able to gently try to rotate it around the neck. I had an old tv once that the picture was slanted and that was the fix. Got it cheap at a garage sale.

I haven't touched a Haas in over 5 years but I seem to remember there may be some settings allowing you to flip and mirror the monitor. May want to give Haas a call and see what they say.

Took it to a TV repair guy in Shakopee today. Should know by Monday.

Two wires were crossed and soldered to the opposite location. Problem fixed and I'm relieved.
