So, I get a Wizard of Wor in, and after getting a bunch of things together we finally got it working... only our tested, working G07 monitor isn't displaying any red.

So I do a bunch of research, check the monitor over again and again, look into the "RGB" board, check out the cpu board...


And then for giggles, removed the red wire from the video connector.

Check out the kick-ass crimp job Bally/Midway did on my red wire, FACTORY, it's been like that for 31 years now.

Yeah, kinda hard to tell from the picture. The crimp on the left should be on exposed wire but is crimped onto insulation too! :-(

I couldn't get a better picture, the clip is less than half an inch long... basically, they crimped onto the insulation and not the wire.

Sorry, thought people would find it interesting.
 
I see it now, the wire is hovering making intermittent contact.

Are your other wires in the harness crimped the same as this one?
