Hey guys,

I heard that some old sony monitors have a switch to flip the image.
(Horizontally and vertically)
I checked ebay but I don't know if any of those can flip the image.

Any help is greatly appreciated ;)

You could always turn the deflection coil 180 degrees... ;)

Sorry but I'm not quite into such technical stuff but is there a deflection coil for each axis (vertical and horizontal) ?

No, it's just one big coil that does it all... it has winding for both horizontal & vertical. You can also re-solder the leads to flip just one axis. But be careful, there are thousands of volts inside the box - don't fry yourself!

Simplest thing is to turn the monitor itself upside-down... ;)

Ah ok ... turning the monitor upside down is probably the easiest solution.

But if anyone finds a monitor with a rotation switch, let me know :)
