DOWN HILL??? There is a problem with the picture running down hill (as I call it) If I watch a movie that is widescreen the space below the movie is much smaller on the right than it is on the left. I was told that the yolks need to be turned. Is that true? and if so how hard is that to do?

It only true is its like one color that is twisted. Remember there is 3 tubes in a projo. Red, Blue, Green. So if a yolk needs turning and the color is not badly out of wack then that makes it that all colors are out and it is hardly likely that all three are turned the very same way(misconscrewed) So this maybe an internal matter. In service menu there maybe a way to align the convergence or crosshatch of all three colors or maybe a resistor that has changed in value. Either way you need someone familiar with the set to work on it.
