The electron beam is basically looking down the barrel of the neck, and if it's not bent to center by all combined adjustments before it clears the bell of the tube you'll get a shadow.

Well I was able to get a nice bright full picture but then it went dark and I'm unable to see anything on the screen anymore but I can still hear the sound from the signal source.
Unfortunately I'm afraid that 1 Meg 1 Watt resistor that was in series with the high voltage anode to the picture tube might of finally bit the dust as no amount of adjusting the ion trap is bringing back the picture, and I think the resistor was slowly dying because I started out with a super bright picture and it gradually got dimmer until it finally went completely dark.
