I picked up a Centipede with a WG 19K4606 in it with a screen that looks like this:

which I think is caused by the neckboard looking like this:

I have another 19K4613 chassis and neckboard from a Defender which had a cracked tube. I believe it was working when then tube was cracked. I've seen Bob Robert's page on how to repair neckboards cracked like this but I want to get this game going as soon as possible. Is there an easy way to unplug the wire going from the flyback into the actual neck connector on the neck board or would I have to de-solder it? If there is no easy way to remove the neck board from the rest of the chassis I will probably just swap the entire chassis out and hope the old Defender one works.

neck board will come off easy.... i have uncracked ones if you do not feel up to repairing it... you could just take yours off and put one i have in its place...

but i would just try and play with the h hold first.. and like stated above.. you will probably just be missing colors
 
Thanks guys, the 2nd horizontal hold adjustment did the trick and I get a steady picture now. All colors are there even with that nasty crack in the neckboard. Needs some fine tuning but it looks pretty good.
