Have you recapped the Electrohome G08 yet?

Thanks everybody.
The ST doesn't really have a test mode with useful patterns in it. Just that one screen with the "horizontal lines".
I'll have to figure out how to get test patterns in place to fix the convergence. Does anyone have one for sale?
The one areas people seem to be ignoring is the horizontal line near the tip of the triangles.
Is this normal? I don't think that is a convergence issue. There is also some "overhang" on some of the lettering. Am I chasing two problems here?
Yes, I recapped the monitor right after I got it functional. I also soldered the heatsinks to the tabs to help prevent them from shorting to each other and to improve the heat transfer from the transistors to the heatsinks.
