help wiring 26" Nanao monitor into Midway Blitz cab, from Virtua Cop2

Before I go ruining a good 26" Nanao...
I'm upgrading the monitor in my Midway Sportstation to a Medium Res monitor. I pulled a 26" Nanao out of my Sega Virtua Cop2 and installed it into my Blitz/Sportstation cabinet. I'm attempting to wire it to the Midway cab, but I do not have a schematic for the Nanao, and I did not take note of the model # before it was installed.

the 3 wires from my game's power supply are:
FG (Green wire with yellow stripe)
AC/N (purple wire with yellow stripe)
AC/L (purple wire)

On the monitor board there is "AC in" connector with a black wire and a black wire with white stripe. I assume FG is Ground which ends up screwed to monitor Chassis. I need to know which of the black wires is AC/N or AC/L. There is also a pair of Red wires connected to the monitor board. They were used inside Virtua Cop2, not sure if they are used in the Midway cabinet...

Any thoughts how to make this work? or any links to a Nanao wiring diagram??

Just match solid colored wire and striped wire for the AC. (just so there's some consistency)
Purple wire - Black wire
Purple w/yellow stripe - Black w/white stripe

The red wires should go down to a manual degauss board, so you might want to check the other cabinet for it if you can. It will have a momentary push button or momentary rocker switch on it.

(not the greatest, but it's something)
 
thanks much for the info! I will dig into the cabinet this evening.
 
The GOOD NEWS: monitor powers up and looks decent.

The BAD NEWS: the image on screen is mirrored, as it was inside Virtua Cop2.

Hmmm. Probably not just a jumper setting...
 
UPDATE:
I located the connector on monitor board that needs to be moved to another set of posts. From what I understand, this should return my screen to "normal", not mirrored. I need to pull the monitor and it's board so I can access this connector.
 
Sounds to me like the monitor was in Med Res mode (it is switchable) but the pcb was in Standard rez mode (also changeable).

Change them both to Med Res for the best picture.
 
With a little help from a friend... I got the monitor pulled, found the 2 wire connector that needed to be rotated 180 degrees and reconnected. Tested it, and now it's not mirrored! Next i need to figure out how to deguass it.

By the way, this particular 26" monitor is Medium Res only. I have 2 other Nanao's that are 25" and they are switchable between Standard and Med res.

And, yes, there is a mirror inside Virtua Cop2.
