Okay, did another cleaning with deoxit on all the pots and followed up with Fader Lube to keep them lubricated. I then tested each pot and found one that makes a clicking sound at full CCW and you can also feel it. I checked the resistance across the tabs and it was much lower than the other two pots of the same resistance (120ohm). Two showed that value, but this one only showed about 23ohm. When I connected to the wiper, the other two pots showed 1.2 to 123. This one started at 1.8, when to 27.9 and then started to drop back down to 2.8 and never go anywhere near it's value of 120.

I tracked down an NOS pot and will be purchasing it long with the R/G vertical lines right coil. It is seized in the position left from last adjustment.

I'm attaching pics of the current convergence I've achieved. I think with the pot replaced and the new coil, I should be able to tweak it to make it better. I know perfect is not possible, but I'm pretty close to a convergence I can live with.

Thanks to many here, I'm almost there!
