That's good info! I have a similar scenario. Sony 32" Wega TV, was
dropped, & shadow mask inside the CRT has shifted.
I unplug the degaussing, right after it finishes, & place magetron
magnets (from a microwave magnetron...cut in half), on
top of the set, close to the top, & adjust, or flip as necessary.
Occassionaly I adjust as necessary. Works fine & it's a sin to toss
out a Sony! Dani.
