There is not enough range in the pincushion adjustments to take care of the top and bottom

I remember my grandparents' old Magnavox console, they had a rebuilt CRT (25V delta gun) installed in the late 80s and it never could be adjusted for good purity, convergence, or pincushion; I sure as heck tried, and that was after the TV repair guy put it in.

Possibly he left the degausing field coil disconnected? I did this once. Drove me crazy until I figured it out. surprisingly it was a Magnavox too lol
