Be sure the main B+ is right, if high will cause wide pix. Keep in
mind with all the formats width can fool you. Try an old VCR if you
have one to judge the width. All sets will be slightly over scanned also.
Post the model ## I cant quite read it. I should have the manual if
need to dig deeper......

Thanks zeno! It's model 564.41701501. If you could point me in the direction of checking the main B+ I will do that for sure. I hooked up my old VCR but can't find any tapes so all I could check was the menu and it looks fine to me. I watched the set for hours last night and I swear it got better the longer it ran. I've heard of CRTs "waking up" but not sure if that's the case here or not. Either way, when I'm watching the old low resolution shows, it looks every bit as good as my 50" plasma, just brighter.

I thought so too, dishdude. I bet the design was cutting edge at the time.
