Battlezone XY center adjustment?

Lol. Me too, me too.
BZ doesn't have centering pots. The manual states to adjust centering on the yoke of the monitor.
Some find this easy. I do not. Arguably the one game that most needs centering pots, to align with the backdrop, and Atari cheaps out.
That said, those spots are actually there on the PCB, but unpopulated. It's apparently a relatively easy mod to add them to BZ.

Yes, I went back to the schematics and found the board is missing the pots and where they should be. Which is odd. I have three Battlezones that I'm fixing right now, and looking at the other two one has the pots and two do not.
Add them yourself. Not alot of components. X shown below.
Just be grateful the AVG board has this "option".
Obviously Atari did not populate for reasons such as cost or just not required in their view.

Found further discussion here. Thanks everyone.
