Joe, you need to reverse the wires going to the YOKE on the monitor. Get
out your ohmmeter and find the two pairs of wires (one for the Hor., one
pair for the Vert.) and reverse ONE pair and see what happens. You can
remove the pins with atiny screwdriver that is inserted into the slot
holdinghte pin, press gently and pull the pin out. Do not overforce or
you will either break the pin or the wire...
