Before Convergence Adjustments

[miniman82]

1. put the chrosshairs on screen, center the picture vertically and horizontally. Check height and width so that you have a 1" overscan on the face of the CRT.

2. put the crosshatch up, make linearity adjustments. For horizontal, you have to read horizontal output tube cathode current and tweak the lin slug for minimum reading. For vertical, just mess with it till you have uniformly sized squares top to bottom.

3. make static convergence adjustments. With the crosshairs, make perfectly converged white lines in the center of the screen.

4. make dynamic convergence adjustments. FOLLOW THE MANUAL RELIGIOUSLY! Not gonna provide my own spin on how it's done anymore, because I found through trial and error that the factory got it right when they wrote the instructions.

I like the CTC-4 method myself, where you displace the lines a little to make sure they are straight, then bring them back together with the neck magnets. To each their own.
