Working on a 4900 chassis with vertical collapse.

Virgin monitor that I had to cut the ground neck board ground wire and silicone on the neck.

Never came across a 4900 with some kind of relay mounted on the chassis. The wires are tied to the signal wires and the yoke wires. It looks factory.

Anyone have info on this?

A couple games use a relay to swap the yoke wires for flipping the screen in cocktail games. Midway Lazarian CT does it this way and I think there is a Centuri game or two that do this as well?

It's kinda weird to see in action but the monitor doesn't seem to mind.

If it isn't going back into a CT that needs it then it shouldn't hurt to just leave it in place as long as the screen is in the right orientation.

I've worked on more than a handful of monitors in my time, but this is something I've never seen. Pretty cool.

Now I want a relay to switch the yoke wires on the k7000 on my workbench. I find myself doing it manually quite often, and it's kind of a pain. It'd also be nice to be able to do it with the power on.
