Most manufacturers used the same basic chassis on a lot of models, but populated the board depending on things like installed CRT or options such as comb filters, stereo, etc. that not every model was shipped with.

It's not unusual for a TV to show an adjustment in the service menu that does exactly nada, as there are no components loaded on the board to effect.

In any case, if the adjustment shows a decimal or binary number, write it down before adjusting it. Avoid things like horiz freq or HV adjustments.

Thanks

I tested the PARAbole and it worked rather well. The geometry is now mainly ok. The result is correct although not as good as my other TV which is a more basic 19" curved Samsung TV.
As a side note I also disconnected the SVM feature (Scan velocity) that tended to make the picture expand when there were too much white (probably a great feature for movies, but not for old gaming). I will give credit for this to SegaHolic from youtube.

ALWAYS write down the original settings so you can go back to first base.
Also be sure you exit the service menu by the book or the settings may not
stay.
Anyhows I see ( I think ) a very slight pin problem & maybe width.
The biggest thing is the bottom half of the pix looks brighter like there
is some vertical fold over. If its there its usually bad caps in the vert.
Post a few more screen shots & a chassis pix. At this time Toshiba went
from there own chassis to one built by Orion / Emerson. That may help.

Looks to me like camera shutter bar; set is OK if not visible to the eye.
