Ok, what the hell did I do?. I capped a K7000 chassis and when I put it back, the image is upside down and backwards. I checked all my connections and they look to be correct. Any clue what Im overlooking?
 
It sounds like you swapped around the yoke connectors. If the yoke connector to the monitor chassis has been cut it is pretty easy to swap around the connection. Just make sure that you don't cross the horizontal and vertical windings.
 
Hmm, I kinda understand this, but all my connections seem to be where they need to be. Can you tell me what the yolk connectors look like? Is that the red,blue,yellow and green wires, or one of the connectors on the neckboard?

Yes - the yoke connector consists of red, blue, green and yellow.
Blue and Red are a pair
Green and Yellow are a pair
 
Don't know the models but I've seen a few chassis that have two sets of posts to connect the yoke plug to. One set represents "normal" and the other upside down and backwards. Only thing I can think of is this might have been for a game that used a mirror. Maybe you plugged it in incorrectly. Definitely sounds like a yoke wiring issue. I think the likely key question here is, is the yoke connector still in one piece or is it cut or spliced? If not cut or spliced you may have another spot on the chassis to plug the connector to and have just chosen the wrong one. If the connector is cut or spliced you likely plugged it to the right connector incorrectly.
 
So, I flipped around the green and yellow plug, even though on the chassis its the opposite and now the pic is perfect. Not sure what's that all about, but I'm good to go. Thanks for everyones help.
