Got a game done. Picture looked great. Had it on while stapling in the new cardboard bezel. On the last staple, the stapler knocked against the front of the tube on the rebound - albeit not excessively hard in my opinion. At that same moment, the picture went super bright and blurry. I can turn the brightness down on the flyback for the most part, but the focus will NOT dial in.
I thought to throw my rejuvenator on it to see if it showed anything, but I left the proper adapter at work and can't check that until tomorrow.
So - did I fuck up and knock the shadow mask around? Never had that happen before, but I'm at a loss as to what happened.
I guess I'm glad I have a couple TV's lying around I can swap tubes from, but I'd rather not...
