What I do when I repair a convergence board is change the caps and diode pack, and check resistors...if that don't fix it there can be 2 problems (the set I most recently did this on had both) 1 the convergence yoke happens to work better somewhere under .5" fore or aft of its intended resting place, or the dope before you installed the clover backwards so the green magnet is over the red gun and the red is over the green..... normally I wouldn't suspect the latter but the set that had that problem had new convergence diodes hacked in and resistors clipped out with " Ray Charles soldered this in with his feet" type craftsmanship...

I have had the Convergence yoke on and off a few time now, so I know that red is over red and green over green, I do not know however, if the Convergence Coils themselves were perhaps ever removed or put back in backwards or not, never thought of that possibility.
But as suggested, will replace diodes, caps go over the resistors, and see if gets better at a future date & go on from there.
