Test

Yoke tilt correction

Purpose

The horizontal axis of a displayed image should line

 

up with the horizontal axis of your monitor. Any

 

tilt is likely due to the yoke being rotated on the

 

neck of the CRT. A rotated yoke makes any displayed

 

image appear rotated.

Method

Place your monitor on a flat surface so the face of

 

the CRT is perpendicular to the surface. Use a

 

ruler or gauge to measure the height of each end

 

of the image’s horizontal center line from the

 

surface. The difference between the two readings

 

should be within spec for the monitor. If it’s out

 

of spec, the yoke needs to be adjusted. Loosen

 

the hardware that clamps the yoke to the neck of

 

the CRT and rotate the yoke until the line is

 

horizontal. Tighten the yoke-clamp hardware.

Test

Yoke winding orthogonality check

Purpose

The horizontal and vertical deflection coils on the

 

yoke should have their axes cross at exactly 90

 

degrees. Improper orientation of the windings

 

causes displayed rectangles to look more like non-

 

orthogonal parallelograms. This type of defect is

 

almost impossible to correct with adjustments. It’s

 

usually easier to replace the defective yoke.

Method

First perform the previously discussed yoke tilt test.

 

The vertical center line of the image should be

 

perpendicular to the work surface. If the deviation

 

is beyond spec, the monitor should be rejected and

 

sent back for repair before the operator wastes time

 

trying to magnet a defective yoke.
