Damn… Thats a hell of a compliment! :awe:
If I was in the UK, I would have done the calibration for free!

I am just a family dad who loves CRTs….. CRT nerding 4 life.

Patience is a virtue and I’ve got bucket loads :awe:
Maybe I can help you with some basics so you can get a better feeling for calibration?
I am 100% self-taught, so with time and practice I think anybody can get good.

Sure! Happy to be of assistance. Got a “couple” of hours time difference between us, but I think we can work something out. Send me a PM and we can work out the details.

Take a look at this: http://emphatic.se/?p=710 or the guide by cools in the AO wiki I based mine on. It's pretty easy to follow.

Update,I did it finally!found a like a 12yr old video on convergence really helped a lot.basically turn the green down or off,merge the red and blue,turn green back on then move as a pair to match the green,sounds simple!🤣I learned a lot,went from pure panic to some sense of confidence.big thanks to buddy c,who helped piont me In the right direction and encouraged me to persist.crts are black magic and suppose the only way to learn is to get stuck in and have a go.
Thanks everyone much appreciated as always👍
