Re: It's alive 25" vector

I was able to converge mine almost perfectly, but the colors are a little off at the top and bottom. The convergence rings are set properly, but are you suggesting that its placement on the neck could be the cause of my problem? Also, any idea how magnetic shunts affect the display or any FAQ that describes them?

Even with a new yoke, all the yoke will affect is the purity, and you DON'T adjust the rings, you have try moving the new yoke in and out a hair to set that. Black and white TVs and 19" colour TV tubes also will work in both vector and raster games (I see a horde of Vector folk racing done to their Salvation Army to nab all their $20 TVs...).
