OK. I have a playchoice that has an old Korean A-ONE. It has been attacked pretty good by rodents. I have a G07 I want to replace it with. But what I'm having difficulty in is the placement of wires coming from the PCA card to the G07 chassis. Nothing seems to be labeled as RGB or anything. Here is a photo of the sega card with the connector with Red Green Blue and not sure what the other 2 are, maybe a sync and ground?

The 6 pin connector is red, green, blue, ground, and positive sync signals. The 3 pin connector has the negative sync signals. If you want to connect negative sync, you'll need a header to plug onto that small connector.

1 - Red
2 - Green
3 - Blue
4 - Ground
5 - Positive V sync
6 - Positive H sync

1 - Ground
2 - Negative V sync
3 - Negative H sync

OK. coming from the video card, I have the red green blue and ground going to 1,2,3, and 4 of the 6 pin. That only leaves the white wire from the video card. Looking at the old 3 pin connector on the g07, there was one wire going to it spliced into 2, what seems to be going into pins 1 and 2 of the 3 pin connector. The connector coming from the video card does not have anything labeled, so it's hard to tell what the white wire is for.
 
I tried like you said, one to the neg. v sync, then jumpered. No picture. There is neckglow. When you number the pins, you are going from left to right, as in the picture?

I had to remove the pcb off the chassis on the old A-ONE. I wanted to get a look at the label of where the 5 pin connector went, it had a bracket covering some of it. It was labeled like this
1=R
2=B
3=G
4=E
5=V
6=H(not used)

The E wire is black which I assumed is Earth Ground? Have it connected to pin4 on the 6 pin

I think I may have found something. With further visual inspection, I found a swelled cap and something else that seemed cracked with what looks like a wire protruding. This chassis was freshly capped and working with less than an hour on it since it was capped. I have replacement caps, but what is the other thing outlined?

So let me get this straight, you are using the G07 chassis with a G07 tube along with the G07 yoke?

If this is correct, then if that one electrolytic is swelled, perhaps it was installed in the wrong polarity (backwards)?

Yes Ken, that is correct. I just pulled the whole chassis and tube and slipped it into the other cab. It was on the neg. sync. You think I should replace the cap and try on the pos. sync?
C523 is the cap. 1uf@250V.
 
OK. Fixed this problem. Seems the 6 pin connector is numbered from right to left, not left to right. Fired up ok but not the greatest picture. Probably because it comes from the nintendo in a rca,,then through a small adapter, then through the video card before it reaches the monitor. Thanks guys for all the help.
