On the Neck yoke I swapped the yellow and green to correct the upside down image (Which i didn't mention before) and the blue and red for the mirror image (both per marvin's guide) and ended up with an image that was no longer upside down but it was still mirrored. So I put red & blue back to the way it was and presto, I have an image that is right way up and not mirrored.
The next thing I noticed that was the picture only came up when the monitor was switched to digital but looked like it was only in 16 colour mode. so I checked the anolog / digital selector switch and found that it was faulty (I knew that the image was analog and not digital) and I now have all the colours.
