I replaced most of the orange drop caps in the HV area, two dark red ones that are .068 in the pic.. Ended up putting a .68 in place of one of them, not realizing which made the focus range different... All on the board have been replaced other than 2 on the audio side of that board.. All the caps that were replaced happened to all be good, which made no difference in performance.. So now the issue lies with the vert height range is all the way up, and after on for about 30 mins there is a very slight shrinkage drift, it's barley noticeable.. I did test with my ohm meter, the big green power resistor that's connect to the bottom of the board in the upper left of pic, and a resistor coming off of that vert height control and were in spec.. Pic shows another green power resistor and some others near the transformers.. Should I check those? I hope I don't need to check anymore things on the pc board..

HV probe also reads slightly over 22KV, that being with the HV control all the way up.. Not sure if that is a problem and if the same thing is causing the vert height issue too.. Also the focus is weird when it come to certain letters, depending on the background behind the letters, convergence is still off too.. Not sure if that would help the focus..
