I am trying to make a Mitsubishi 1281 usable for my son's soccer coach. The green tube is very toasty but the red looks to be new. When I do the raster sizing it seems that the Blue and Green rasters are much larger than the red. If I run the red up to within a 1/2" or so of the edge the blue and green are off the tube. If I size the raster for the blue and the green then the red only takes up a small portion of the tube face and I have a shadow on the screen where the blue and green go out further than the red. I have used the blanking to blank out back to the red but that cuts off the top of the service menu. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dan

I'm pretty sure adjusting the horizontal width coils on the yoke board helps alleviate this. I'm a newbie to the max, but I'm pretty sure you set them all the way in (WITH A PLASTIC SCREWDRIVER! NO METAL LEST YOU FRY THE THINGS!) and then you unscrew the coils on the larger rasters to make them the same size as the smallest one. Someone smarter than me will probably have more to say and I'll learn as well. You can also adjust the vertical size on the vertical board I believe. At least this is how it's set up on my Barco...
