I dont know if the problem is in the CRT, or the analog board. but the horizontal convergence is gone. vertical convergence is A OK.

the ALPS white pot on the CRT neck/video board does nothing to the picture. has no effect. the pots on the top of the yoke change the vertical and horizontal convergence a little bit. there is a E/W coil with a ferrite adjustment screw off to the right and i broke the ferrite into many peices to try to adjust it. (didnt affect the convergence hardly at all).

i tried using the convergence rings on the back of the neck, and if i play witht hose i can bring the picture in ALMOST, but not enough where it wouldnt drive me nuts. so something is wrong somewhere, so i returned the adjustment rings back to thier original positions.

i ESR tested all the electrolytics and they are fine.

any ideas? i dont have another machine to swap yoke, CRT, analog boards to figure out where the problem lies.
