I'm posting a couple of screen shots. I have to admit this is the best the set has looked so far. These pics don't do it justice as I am getting better shots from the camera adjustments advised by others, but they are still a far cry from how good it looks in person. Got quite a few compliments on the image quality. The youngsters didn't know a CRT image could look this good. They thought all you'd see is large scan lines and blurry images.

Tested the CRT again today and it tests as good and the image produced (color, brightness, contrast) seems to agree. So the inability to bring up lines in setup doesn't seem to be the fault of the CRT. Oh, and I got the greyscale set so well, I didn't have to touch the gain taps at all this time. Usually I had to move one and deal with the whites not as white as I'd like, but now they are pretty much dead on. Not too warm and not too cold.

Now if I can just get rid of the darn jailbars, I'd have a damn near perfect set.
