Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

Oddly enough it doesn't really have the bow on the top of the screen.

It seems to all be on the bottom.

So would adjusting the yoke possibly take care of the bottom bowing
without affecting the top much?

It's possible if the yoke has been badly fitted at the factory, ie, not
central and drooping slightly, to lift it a little and affect the bottom
with only minimal affect on the top. It depends on the individual case.
It's not a job I'd recommend if you're not electronically minded or
experienced with CRTs though- there's a real risk of seriously messing up
the picture and worse still getting a hefty shock.

Hi Morse,

Thanks for the info, I am going to try a magnet trick that I was told
about but if that doesn't do anything then I will take it into the shop
and see what they would charge to fix it up.

Are you sure there isn't a setting for it in the menu? Most modern CRT
monitors have that. If the setting has no effect there is a fault in the
electronics.
