You need a source that can give you a pure red, blue or green screen.
If the screen is say green but the corner area is not its a purity problem.
Look into that & get back to us.
BTW almost all service adjustments are through a menu. You need a remote,
possibly OEM & instructions or you can mess things up bad. I see NO reason
to mess with them anyhows.

I was wondering why there were so many magnets glued to this thing... I remember other crt tv's I had in the past had way more permalloy strips but almost never a bunch of correction magnets like that.
I'll find a way to generate pure color to the screen and see what it looks like, especially in that top left corner.
Fortunately, I have the remote and it seems to still work fine. The service menu on this thing seems much more extensive than any other units I've owned before.
Thanks for the advice.
I'll update once I've done a bit more investigation/testing.
