Are you sure the CRT is original? One thing that will cause serious convergence problems is trying to use a CRT with an incompatible yoke. You'll end up with the red and blue rasters being either too big, or too small compared to the green.

I have no idea if the CRT is original. Looks original, but I don't know how you tell when you don't have the original bill of materials anywhere.
I understand already that the position of the yoke affects dynamic convergence, but this thing was SOLIDLY glued in place, as were the wedges. I finally managed to break it free a few days ago, after much effort, but I wasn't able to find a position where the convergence was good all over the monitor. The best I could get was the center and top of the monitor having good convergence, but blue was still quite a ways off from red and green at the bottom of the monitor.
