I ran into this problem when I restored my Motorola 9VT1 which has the typical roundie shape you see on color sets. The only way to get a correct 4:3 aspect ratio was to shrink the horizontal and vertical. This leaves a small picture in the middle of the screen. The manufacturers intended for the entire mask to be filled so I adjust for that and do the best I can with respect to linearity. Vertical is the most noticeable. It is just a characteristic of these types of sets.
