RE: Question about 25" picture tube

Yeah, no kidding. Just out of curiosity, I went looking around on Randy
Fromm's site for any docs/instructions on convergence and purity, and didn't
find much. So far, I've only found info regarding this in the monitor
manual.

Did use a pattern/signal generator to do you alignment?

Matt, if you don't mind, I'm sure that many would be interested in the
minutiae of you experience, including the alignment, etc.

Thanks!
