Vertical centering on a Zenith F2740R?

Picked up this nice restored '61 Zenith F2740R yesterday, 16F23 chassis. I just love love love love 21" and 23" Zenith consoles

Anyway, I got it dialed in nicely with the exception of the vertical centering. It's just a little bit too low. Anyone know where the control is for that offhand? Needless to say I don't have the Sams, but I figured someone here might know offhand.....

There should be centering rings on the back of the Yoke I think.

No way, I'm going to use the snot out of this set

But with the GE 801 I just got yesterday things are starting to look a little tight once again. The ever-present battle we TV guys face.

Glad that helped, I wasn't 100% sure the Zenith had the rings but most B&W sets of that era did, except the Predictas, they have those little knobs on the yoke, probably does the same thing though.

That Zenith set is very close to a set I would like to have. My folks had a 21" or 23" table model that I think was a year or two earlier. Metal cabinet. VHF only.
I don't know the model number.
