Have a problem with my Barco -- the blue H size is slightly larger than red and green, about 1" on each side on a 131" diag. screen. Currently I use convergence to force the blue in, but this can hardly be the right way as evident from non-linear geometrical behavior on the sides and especially the corners. Have been digging around for info how to solve it the correct way, but so far have come up short. According to the guides on the site there are pots for H and V shift and V size, but not for H size? So am I to use some menu control, have only managed to alter size for all three colors at the same time? Feels like I am missing something obvious here Confused

Regards
Andreas

The blue deflection yoke is probably not an equal distance to the crt bell relevant to the red or green yokes. And this is easy to check and fix, just loosen the holding screw of the blue yoke and either push it forward or pull it further back as necessary to make blue width perfectly linear with the 2 other colors.

I think Tom was trying to point him to the H-width coils on the deflection board.
The manual also gives a good description of matching the raster widths.

Although it is true that the deflection yoke position affects width, in general they
are designed to be pushed all the way forward to the tube bell.

I was hoping Andreas would figure it out for himself with a few hints...... Wink

Note: Do not use a metallic screwdriver to adjust these coils !
