I have 2 monitors, each with curl at the top of the monitor. The picture on both monitors also "twitch" (doubt I'm using the correct term) sometimes. My speculation is cap kit, but I need a positive ID on both monitors and also want to be sure of some settings on the monitors.

First up is my Space Invaders. The cab is a Midway's Space Invaders that has been upgraded with a color monitor and a Japanese Space Invaders DX. I read on another thread here that sometimes curl can be unavoidable if a newer board (DX was made in 1994) was used with an older monitor (although I have no clue what this monitor is). If that is the case and the curl isn't damaging anything then it is not the end of the world. However, if fixable I'd like to fix it.
Anyways, here are pics of the curl in the menu and on the monitor test screen:
I cannot find definitive markings on the monitor chassis, however there is a sticker on the tube labeled WG45960. Here are some pics of the monitor. If more are needed for a positive ID, or if anyone knows where the model number would be listed please let me know.
Here is a sticker next to the monitor that may help. Even if it doesn't, what exactly do vertical/horizontal raster and vertical/horizontal damping adjust?
One more question on this monitor. On the yoke, there are these plastic pieces around the white plastic (look like spacers so the yoke doesn't go too far up the tube). There is space between those and the tube. Should the yoke be slid up, or would that not be the problem?
