Without the shadow mask in its proper position and shape, purity (and convergence) will never be correct. this isn't the type of thing that degaussing will improve, as you have experienced. New crt is rarely worth the money. Wonder how it happened anyway.

As I suspected, it's terminal; no way to repair it aside from replacing the CRT. I suppose it's not all bad, though; it's like having some kind of benign tumor--it'll always be there, but it doesn't really get in the way of life.
As for how it happened, it's anyone's guess, though if I had to guess, I'd say it happened during a move, as from the marks, it looks like it fell onto a sidewalk or driveway.
Next up: Either a 19" Mitsubishi that keeps turning itself off, or a 25" Magnavox that has issues with dark scenes.
