Have an Asteroids Deluxe that has a couple odd warp lines in image that have been bugging me for a while. Another thread solved the prob by swapping yokes so looking for another one to try out.

Rebuilding a pac G07 as well with a new crt and the convergence just isn't working along the top so I wouldn't mind trying another yoke on this as well.

Convergence is done with the centering rings, not the yoke. The only way the yoke would cause bad convergence would be if it were tilted, like if the wedges weren't on right.

But I have several G07 yokes if ya gotta have one...
 
Outer convergence is done with the yoke angle. The rings overlap the red/blue, then the resulting magenta to green grid. If you have magenta off along the entire top, or red/blue not overlapped there, tilting the yoke to the right when looking at it from the back will push the red out, but also pull the blue in on the outermost edge (left/right on a vertical orientation). I can get that outer area close, but the yoke is hella to the right.. tried for 3 days on and off and cannot get it exact.. this is the only monitor that is giving me this much of an issue.. I know on the amplifones some yokes seem to work far better than others with same hardware driving them (I do all mine out the back of the same Star Wars cab), so just a thought, but wouldn't mind trying a different one to see if it has an effect... after the time I have spent on this one, i'm very familiar with it particularily so it would be a good test.. This one also had 2 small magnets taped inside that I removed, but put back when it became obvious it worked far better with them in so am wondering if it was a munged yoke that was 'helped' out by these... I asked earlier if other people had those magnets and no-one chimed in so i'm thinking that may be the case..

If the magnets in question are little strips that are tucked under and around the yoke...I've seen quite a few of those magnets on monitors over the years. I've got a bag full I save from junked monitors that are thrown out.

No, not the strips... these are magnets about the same size as on the ends of the strips, but just taped right against the coil on opposite sides inside.. the tape is that brownish-gauz looking stuff.. of course its brittle and hard now so was easy to take off... obviously there since it was made sort of thing..
