Its kind of stretched out to the right.
Or do I keep playing with those darn centering rings.

Is the picture non-linear, being stretched out on the right, or is there a margin on either side? Non-linearity would be a fault in the damper circuit.
Were the caps in the damper, boost circuit replaced with the correct values? Also sub the damper and horizontal output tube.
I looked in the GE coverage in Riders and it shows no width and linearity adjustments.

Old TV shows seldom had any valuable information at the extreme left and right edges of the screen, so overscan was acceptable and even useful, to conceal the effects of line voltage variations for example. With modern program material a lack of adjustments to me is a big strike against a vintage set.

Some TVs have a width coil in the flyback circuit which can be adjusted. I've tried to figure out how to retrofit one into a TV which lacks this feature but never got it.
