And IIRC centering is with the magnets in the yoke?

There could well be. That's why I want to try to learn how to do a proper adjustment.

What is neck shadow? And does the yoke position affect the focus at all? Or anything else?

So, crank up the signal from my BT modulator, then back it off? What is tearing?

Thanks folks!
