I just fired up this 31" CTC187CL2 set which > I replaced the HOT, 2 caps and 2 resistors. It appears to be working > fine except that the picture is backwards, as like you are watching in a > mirror. The vertical display is proper- heads are at the top of the > screen. At first I thought I must have simply connected the hor. yoke > plug in backwards, but it looks like it it is plugged in properly. The > brown wire is on the left and the red wire is on the right (looking at > the yoke connectors from the CRT socket end), and the key on the plug is > facing the front of the set, the same as the vertical yoke plug is. The > other end of the red wire connects to the main board near the flyback, > and the brown wire goes to a spot close to the heatsink near the front > of the chassis. All on screen text is backwards, as well as the video > itself. > I checked with another CTC187 chassis I have in the shop, and the yoke > is wired up the same way.
