well I got that V1001 running, and running rather well.

I followed all the colored markings for the yoke and that just got me a normal picture, not flipped/mirrored to work with the mirror. I reversed the yoke wires like you normally should (just flipped at the section) but I got what looked to be a distorted picture from it and just cut the game off and put it back to verify I didn't nuke the yoke.

so far so good there, so what am I supposed to do here?

So you have red green yellow black/blue? red and black/blue as one set and green and yellow the other... sound to me you have to switch the red and black/blue around... did you do that???
 
Hey I just remembered something. some chassis have two places that you can plug in the yoke see if there is and move it to the other place.
 
forgot to clarify, I have a red, yellow, black and green.

I found some other thread that said red/black are swappable, except the red wire barely reaches the black spot first off, and second, all I got was a dot in the middle of the screen when I did that, so that's not right either.

I set it back the way it was... these things have like indestructible yokes I swear.

if I recall the wires are soldered to those weird header pins underneath, I don't think you can remove them, but I'm not too familiar with this thing anyway. mind's additionally cloudy right now due to illness. surprised I remembered the wire colors lol

So what you are trying to do is have a backward picture (MIRROR) as it is know you look at it and it what you would see as a normal monitor(Picture as we see it)...So yea Red and BLack switched should do it. IF you got a dot.. then something isnt right. The only way to kill a yoke is to hook green with red or black and yellow with red or black.. other then that you should either have a upside down video or a backwards (mirrored) video or correct video. Hmmmm I enigma to me...
 
as it stands now, I have it in normal position, which means when it reflects off the mirror, it will be backwards/upside down lol.

I guess I'm gonna have to just pull the chassis again. we'll have to compare wire locations or something.
