Thanks but not needed, I triple my button pushing, before during and after.....don't trust that word "WRITE" no matter what color it turns. Also, after CRT installation, I go straight to the centering rings, adjust that 1st, and if the convergence is reasonably close, I'll hit the Flash Focus to verify the skew/centering is correct.....THEN I'll converge it. Then Flash Focus it afterwards. Don't care to see E80 G pop up after tweaking the convergence, then have to re-align it again.
