Adjusting the Yoke on 9" B&W CRT

[AlpineRaven]

Good evening all,

Tonight I accidently broke the CRT while removing the hard drive/floppy and I cracked it.

I have another spare CRT from Macintosh Classic, but it had different Yoke's connector.

SO I decided to swap over the yoke over to working CRT, but I haven't fired it up - I will resume working on it tomorrow.

Are there any step by step how to adjust the CRT properly by adjusting those magnetic deflectors knobs behind it if I need to?

Also, any good tutorials over it? That is Macintosh related would be bonus.
Cheers

Thanks for that link.

Generally speaking, if one was swapping in a completely foreign, but compatible, monochromatic CRT, is the yoke orientation going to be the same, regardless of manufacturer?

I.e. if I'm swapping over an SE's yoke onto a not-orginally-Mac-9-inch-CRT, is it going to be oriented the same way? Flyback suction cup opposite of the analog board, the yoke positioned the same orientation.

Should I mark the yoke's orientation on my old CRT and line it up on the new one accordingly? So I shouldn't be worried about things getting mirrored/flipped? Sorry if these are no-brainer questions.

I know there will be some adjustment necessary post install but figured I'd ask the dummy questions

The yoke always goes on the same way as it provides your deflection. if you put it on any other way, the picture would be wrong.
