I had to do this when I used an Omega Race monitor in an Asteroids. What
you have to do is reverse the wires on the deflection yoke. There are 4
wires coming from the yoke and going into the deflection board. There is
a standard for the coloring I think but I don't know exactly what that
is and I don't have schems in front of me so I can't tell you exactly
which ones to switch. :-( If you have the schems, find out which pins
are the X axis.. and simply reverse them.
