When you have the chassis out you can adjust CRT mounting.
Installing a CRT in those sets was kind of a nasty job because the tube went in from the front. The last CRT I installed in one of those sets, I converted it from a 23EG to a 23V something using a mounting kit from the Motorola distributor.
The Motorola product line was well represented in the Milwaukee area. Dykro distributors was owned by relatives of the owners of The Milwaukee Journal newspaper.

My metal table set has the front CRT mounting. Part of me hoped that dopey scheme was a table set only design for compactness... It's too bad the consoles have it too.
Moto did partially make up for it by placing the convergence panel on the front behind the speaker....any set with front convergence adjustment is was atleast partially designed with the tech in mind in my book.
