Going to open this question here knowing that it should receive a quicker response.
I have a 50" Rear Projection Television in my SNK Neo 50 cabinet, and it has a convergence issue. It is a Hitachi C50, or it is marked as C50-15SN, which I'm fairly certain now that I've determined that "15SN" means the 15Khz refresh rate that Standard Resolution games use (CGA). Right now I'm trying to search for a way to fix this issue for the cheapest way possible, otherwise I'd just replace the screen entirely.
I've searched google up and down for anything matching C50-15SN and have turned up nothing besides some people making repairs on regular C50s. In fact I found a site that sells kits, "TVrepairKits" if I'm correct. They sell convergence chips with guides on how to install them and also sell Coolant Replacement for the tubes. Right now the confusing portion is that I believe these are mostly for the at-home TV models and not this specially modified arcade cabinet screen. They do sell kits for the C50s, but there are 3 different types 2000/5000/8000, which do not seem to match mine anywhere (Model # wise). I've sent them an email requesting assistance with this, but you know I consider probably getting a better answer from the folks here who deal with this stuff everday....i suppose.
Could anyone assist me? I do not see a way I can adjust this convergence issue manually like you would a typical CRT monitor.
