“reversed the yoke leads”
This reminds me of the time when I was still a teen in HS, and some adult fell for the scam of “You have won a brand new projection TV system.” all you have to do is drive all the way down and sit through this high presser sales pitch seminar presentation to get the FREE GIFT.
Which was nothing more than a cheap plastic convex lens, stuck into a cardboard box, that fit into a slightly larger one which could be adjusted for focus, which was then taped in front of any 19 inch or so color CRT TV, and then “projected” onto a cheap cardboard screen which has silver shiny paint on it. ( Best viewed in dark room, with brightness turned to max).

Instructions also said... take TV to shop to reverse yoke leads to correct “inverted image”.

Total rip off, but amusing!
