Okay, when I redo the G2s, I'll bump up the green slightly from the fully counter clockwise position and move up the red for yellow, then blue for grey.

I guess heat over time in the convergence pots lead to one losing part of it's shaft. It broke outside of the pot, so it is still adjustable with a plastic screwdriver. The shaft is purple, but where it broke is brown and I'm assuming the heat got to it. I have a new pot, but I don't think it will be necessary to install. I have avoided changing any pots that don't test bad as they are three legs in the solder buckets. I have no way of heating up three pots at once, let alone get them hot enough to all melt so I can pull the legs out. I was think one by one, but the needle nose will just act as a heat sink. Then there's the issue of installing the new one. Those buckets aren't so bad individually, but when multiple ones are involved, they're a nightmare.

I have 5 out of the 9 pots and already installed new coils. The 4 I don't have are pretty hard to locate.
