Very interesting. It was facing north west. I will make sure it is facing north next time I try. Game normally faces north but I had swiveled it out to work on it.

I once did a restoration which included a NOS CRT which came out fantastic. The display was beautiful.
Carefully delivered and set up the game. Applied power and the display was a rainbow of colors. I thought something must have been damaged during the transport. I pulled the game out to test further and the display was fine.
Put the game back - rainbows.....
Turns out there was a chase behind the wall where the game was and due to the amount of EM radiation coming from the bundle of wires in that area, caused the interference which prevented a game (video) from being placed there.........
Also, what exactly is purity?
Is that when each color is evenly distributed across the screen?
A real noob question, so I apologize.
What do you guys use to adjust the rings? Just your fingers or do you have a special tool?
I know that the neck is where the majority of the nasties live, so I want to be very careful.
I have a question. What do you do when glued convergence adjustment rings break?.. Can you just use any old set from junked tubes?
I strip TV's that get junked for those rings and the rubber wedges and convergence strips....
Thanks guys for the responses. Yeah, I was pretty certain that magnets wouldn't help out with the shrink/expand issue. With this being a 25" tube, I figure that there are going to be some issues that I just have to live with. Knowing that I can potentially fix the one odd corner is very encouraging though.
You should take a video of the shrink/expand issue and post a youtube link for us to see. Some of it is normal; if it's at crazy levels then there may be something else going on.
I honestly didn't see any blooming issues in that video. If that was blooming at 36 seconds then it is reasonable or that may be by design.
There's nothing there that would concern me but I'm not familiar with that game's video. Maybe someone else with that game can chime in?
