Sometimes with those monitors, they get exposed to heavy magnetism and the shield around the CRT also becomes magnetized - which effects the CRT as you see it. Its a massive PITA to get the shield off and demagnetize it.

Sadly, the shadow mask can also become distorted and have the same effect if the monitor was dropped.

You might try a real degaussing coil. They can be had for fairly cheap and cover a broader surface area. A must for sets without auto degauss or that have been heavily magnetized.
