Tony, you need to do the static convergence before you can do the dynamic convergence.

The static controls are on the neck of the crt. THe dynamic ones are the controls behind the speaker. I assume you already have the crosshatch pattern to do the convergence, so here we go:

turn off the color and turn down the blue gun until the screen as amber. With a mirror in front of the set, slowly adjust the red and green statics until they converge on a point in the MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN. the red and green move at angles.

After converging red and green, turn the blue back up until the screen is a uniform gray. Adjust the blue static to move the blue line(s) up and down. use the blue lateral maginet (not the rings, that's for purity) to move the blue lines side to side. Converge the blue on top of the red and green to make white. again, converge everyhting IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN

After statics, comes dynamic convergence. I would converge the red/green first because its more difficult to do blue first. order should be top, bottom, left, right Horizontal, then repeat on the verticle adjustments. use a non-magnetic, non metallic hex tool on the right side slug controls or the electrical effects will destroy them

Then perform the blue adjustments. THere will only be verticle adjustments on the blue for top bottom left and right. THe left and right adjustments will bow a little bit. You will not be able to adjust them in completely, its just a defect of the delta-gun design. Again, use a non-magnetic, non-metallic tool on the right side slug.

After converging blue on red and green, step back about 4 feet and look over your work. Please note that there will be some imperfections in corners or around the edge of the screen. The idea is to get uniform convergence. You won't be able to achieve perfection.

Good luck. I will be glad to assist you if any further troubles pop up
