Sony PVM Movie Prop

[lnx64]

I have this seriously oddball Sony PVM monitor, that was used as a movie prop. It was used in a few movies, including the TV series X-Files (a few X-Files episodes actually, not just one). It's a PVM-1390.

Sadly it has been beaten up a little bit by the time I got it, looks like Holywood never cared for it and got it very scuffed up, and the buttons on it have yellowed..

Pics of it when used in X-Files episode Conduit:

And here's that monitor today:

It even makes a good RGB monitor via the computer input on the 25 pin connector: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...gon/genpvm.jpg

But, if you look closely in the shot from the X-Files, it had a slight pin cushion/trapezoid problem back then.. Very small but is noticeable. Well, even to this day, that problem is still on it: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...agon/dtv-1.jpg

Is this fixable? Considering it has the same problem as it did all the way back on Season 1 of the X-Files, I'm guessing just an alignment problem.

This picture, when on an SNES, shows just how bad the pincushion problem really is.

Notice the top edges and all along the sides of the picture.
