Is there a written method on how to align these? I had a day of bad luck when it comes to monitors today. Went to do a tube swap on a K7000, and had a little luck in that the tube I had laying around was an almost dead on match with the yoke, so I wouldn't have to swap the yoke and go through all that. Anyhow 3/4 of the way through swapping the tube, and I noticed the alignment tabs on the back of the neck just flapping in the breeze. Apparently this particular tube has a locking tab system where if you bump/turn this ring behind them, it unlocks all the alignment tabs. Yeah, lucky me.
Next, after testing my GnG board to make sure everything's good, I bring my little 13" test monitor back to the basement, and put it on the floor next some other stuff. Well apparently, the breeze from me walking past disturbed said other stuff, which sent a small cardboard box directly onto the monitor, with JUST enough force to crack the tube. It was still hissing when I ran back down the steps to see what the noise was.
The kicker is that I just swapped the tube into the 13" a couple weeks ago and it came out PERFECTLY. It had an awesome picture. HAD...
