So, I just did a tube swap form one k7000 to another. I had a tube that I decided to use that was nice an bright with a bad chassis for a bad tube with a good chassis.
So, I took the rings and yoke off the bad tube, put them on the good one. Seems like everything went well... looked at the pic an thought "just gotta degauss it a bit."
Seems like I can't degauss it enough to get the color pure across the screen, and the crosshatch also doesn't have perfectly straight lines across both horizontal and vertical.
So, my QUESTION is could I have put the rings on backwards? What causes these issues? Is it normal to have to totally reconverge the monitor when you do a tube swap like this? And finally, what's causing my odd color purity going across the screen? Wasn't like that just days before, so the tube is goo.
