So I picked up this monitor from a friend (op). It is/was brand new, but when he installed it, it looked like this. I thought it was worth the risk. Is it a sync issue? Any ideas?

Doesn't look like any sync issue I've ever seen, and the width of the line looks too big to be collapse. Check horizontal winding on yoke is connected correctly to chassis.
 
Thanks I will try and find a manual on line and take a look at it. I don't have too much experience with monitors.

Most yoke wiring is standard. green yellow as a set(dont remember which is hoz. or vert. SORYY) and red and black/blue wires being the other set. these wire run from the tube to the chassi. most the time it is all one plug and can only be plugged in on way. but some time they are seperate plugs and one could be lose. GOD BLESS
 
I hate to say it but it looks like horizontal collapse. I did repair one of these a couple of months ago but all it took was a cap kit. If I was closer I would take a peek at it.

where exactly are the green/yellow & red/blue wires going to coming off the yoke? camera focused on the wires and you can't tell wtf they're going lol.

strangely the symptom looks very similar to this Hantarex Polo I changed the flyback on and I reversed the G2 and focus wires (following the colors -- they were different functions between old and new) and I got kind of a spread vertical line like that. why did I have horizontal collapse in my case? I pulled a block cap and didn't install it back in the right spot, I was breaking the return path on the horizontal yoke pins.

if it's a new monitor like you say, I don't particularly understand why there'd be any hints of cold solder or the like anywhere, I would say for fun get out your meter and set it on like the 20 ohm resistance setting and meter the green/yellow and then the red/blue. if you have a break in the reading on either half (I too can't remember which is vertical and which is horizontal, but I'll guess green/yellow is vertical and red/blue is horizontal) then you're either looking at a bad yoke connector for some weird reason or perhaps the yoke is bad somehow. the next order of attack to test would be at the connection points the wires go to on the yoke itself.

worth mentioning, after I fed you all that information... you can only test the yoke when the monitor's off. :)
