Sure would like this thing to work for me. The edges are out of focus. If you watch the graph on the monitor screen, you can see the top left is really out of focus. I have done the cap kit. All three of the big updates and replaced a few other items that just looked bad. It keeps getting better and better but not quite right.
 
I know exactly what you're talking about. I have two 25" U5000s, one is good, the other is shitty, lol. the shitty one has a rough tube, looks like the red gun's getting worse, but it too has the focus problem along the edges, as well as not being able to really focus well at all.

by comparison, I have a 25" K7500 as well that had the same problems. it was rejuved, capped, etc. it's also missing the metal tabs along the yoke for fine-tuning the convergence along the edges.

guess what ultimately fixed it? the flyback.

change out your flyback, it'll look amazing after that.
