Recently picked up a 27" WG K7401 monitor for my Gauntlet : Dark Legacy. After hooking it up I'm seeing this reversed image, and from reading other posts it seems that this is normally fixed by switching wires on the yoke. Looking at my setup, the colors of the wires don't match what I've previously seen described. I've got white and blue on one side, and yellow and red on the other side (see photos). Any idea which need to be reversed to correct this? Thanks!

It may be easier to swap the wires at the connector end that mates with the chassis (no soldering required). Red and Blue typically control the horizontal and yellow and green (white in your case) should control the vertical.
 
Follow the yoke red and blue wires down to the main board. They will end in a two pin connector. With the power off, simply unplug that connector, reverse it, and plug the connector back in.

Thanks Ken!!! Searched for this problem, and now gonna go try this on my Aliens JAMMA game to see if it works! :)
 
The easiest thing to do is turn the monitor around and look at the back of the tube. ;)
