I don't know if this would help but it may be worth looking into. I had a customer with a Zenith 27" set that some other shop replaced the CRT with one out of a JVC that used a bonded yoke. The picture was too narrow. Installing the correct tube and yoke was definitely out of the question. I played around with the collector caps on the horiz. output but not much help. Then played around with the pincushion circuit and bingo, I had a full picture.
