Nothing like that. The only adjustment I get is horizontal size.

I found that there is a "Horizontal Width Adjust" transistor, Q380, that goes between the luma and some of the horizontal width stuff. I've never seen that in a circuit either. This set is filled with things that are a first for me.

It's a Japanese made Sony Watchman, but the tube is not Trinitron and was sourced from Samsung.

One thing I already tried was putting an extra .22uf capacitor across the S correction cap, but that didn't seem to fix it. I didn't notice much difference in the linearity, but maybe it was a bit more stretched out horizontally.
