Last post about my convergence

[sampson159]

on this model there should be another coil for blue convergence.i believe it is a smaller one,that controls the blue centering.i am almost positive on this one.

Yes, there is a blue convergence magnet (with adjustment) and a blue lateral (with adjustment).

The center could use a little touch up, but until I can fix the sides, it's not of great importance.

I started wondering if it's really the blue that's the issue. What if the blue lines are where they're supposed to be and the red and green are off? They seem to interact with each other quite a bit, so if a pot is bad, maybe it's affecting them. Of course I have no way of knowing all this until I get the scope (which I hope to get today). If I get the scope I might be posting the model and some pics and asking for assistance in the settings.

small problems at the center get worse at the edges, you need to always check and touch up the center static as you make dynamic adjustments, it does not take much.

That being said the pic you posted shows more that the typical problem with blue.

I hate trying to do the center convergence. It says to use the dots for it, but the dots are so fuzzy and I expect a pure white dot. I know this isn't possible, but my brain is so picky most of the time it keeps me tweaking it.

really important to turn brightness down (is this that same set?) setup the focus to get as small a dot as possible, setup in a dim light. Use a hand held mirror standing behind the set dont shock your self to get the center and adj the static. you hold the mirror up close to the screen center while standing behind and adj the magnets.

Its a PITA to do it this way but its the only as you need to get a real close look as you go.

Yeah, it's the same set. I think I should get the G2s set properly before I do the center convergence again. I have a full size mirror, but are you saying I should put one hand on the convergence knob, lean over the top of the set and look into a hand mirror that's up close to the screen? How about a magnifying mirror up close to screen and I stand behind the TV and adjust? Or will the magnifying mirror distort the dot?
