You can move a tap around on the back to adjust it so the effect is correct. just dont be too suprised if you fire it up the 1st time to see a raster and like me did it in a dark room. The eye made the raster quite dark as well. A quick way to see how well its working is to shine a flashlight at the eye. Those 27" CRT's are rare.

Thanks again for the advice, Dave. You are apparently the Magnavox 27" go-to guru around here on VK! My first step is a thorough cleaning inside and out, although I already know I will need a rear CRT socket cover. The original plastic piece was half-missing when I picked up the set. Then, schematics and some paper cap replacement if necessary.
That reminds me....does anyone know the Sam's number for this particular chassis? The model number is 1MP430M.
