I was wondering if anyone had an idea how to fix my problem. The corners on my SW cabinet are discolored and the gunfire is blurry. Tried degaussing, adjusted the yoke, but it is still off. Any help would be greatly appeciated. I'm including two pics to show the problem.

Judging from the picture with the text, the convergence is off in the upper right hand corner. Thus the double image text. It also has Gauss issues at the bottom right. Do you have access to a degaussing coil? Sometimes the one in the monitor doesn't get the job done.

Looks to me like your blue gun is being over driven and the purity ring needs adjustment. Possible the monitor is too bright as well.
First thing, use a sharpie and draw a line across your rings so you know your starting point.
Go into the OP mode and bring up the red cross hatch and slightly adjust the purity ring and see if the discoloration in the lower quadrant can be corrected. Possible it may need to be degaussed - but try the purity ring first.
Next bring up the menu that shows all of your colors in lines. You should not see one of the last white lines - look at the manual for further guidance. Lastly make all the lines as skinny as possible which is accomplished by not only the brightness but the color gun pots. If this is an Amplifone there's two pots per color on the deflection board that you'll need to contend with.

You're almost there.
First of that curve in the screen is absolutely 100% normal.
Your text should be crisp and clean. Could be the camera causing what I see but the text looks blurry/fat. There is a part in the K6100 manual that talks about brightness. It's a screen with different colored lines - go to that screen in OP menu and adjust the brightness and your colors. You'll find the more you drive a color it can cause the vector lines to widen. There's truly a happy medium needed for both adjustments.
Seeing the discoloration move/change in your screen simply means it's not a degaussing issue as I suspected. Don;t be afraid to turn/adjust that purity ring more. Sometime having a crooked yoke can cause that effect but I doubt that's your issue.
