Another way to check if the purity trims are not quite right is to rotate the set and cold/hot cycle it to make sure the degaussing coil operates fully. In other words, if the set is facing north/south now, try operating it when facing east/west. If the upper left changes somewhat, it's another indication the purity trims are off a bit, especially if rotating it back brings it back to this same condition.

If the mask is loose, I'd think jostling the set by moving it would produce much worse results.

Thanks for the response. I'll definitely give this a try and see what results are produced. So does the unit normally energize the degauss coil at every startup?
