I did a full cap kit on this WG4903 this weekend. The image looks a bit better, but it's got a bad curling distortion on both the sides (as well as looking like it needs a degauss). You can also tell that it looks like the colors are out of alignment. The most I've done before is a cap and flyback replacement. But not much beyond that.

Any idea on how I can fix something like this? Or is it possible?

Right now, it's just a backup monitor for when a currently running game craps out. So, I'm not in any hurry and if it can't be fixed, i'm not going to lose sleep over it.

When you were working on it, did you move the yoke or rings any? Looks like they shifted (or were already shifted).

If that doesn't take care of everything, look for some small transformers on the board near the flyback. Check them for cold solder joints....
 
The curling was present before I did the cap kit. So, the yoke could be shifted. I've never adjusted a yoke or rings before. Are there any tutorials on how to do that?

There very well could be cold solder joints.
