True. if you buy a tube with all of the electronics/coils already attached correctly, that's a lot of work done for you.
If you really want to get it right however, you still need to do the astig magnetics. That can't be completely done ahead of time as it depends on where you are on the planet and what orientation the projector is installed in.
Many people may not bother, but last time I did it on my last CRT projector it was a couple of hours of work.

He will have to do the astig anyway, he is moving homes.

ok then
swap the Red and blue leads on the focus board, see if the problem follows
or
swap the red and blue leads on the VIM module, the ones on top when you slide the VIM 2/3rds of the way out of it's slot. I see you have many Color correction boards so I'm sure you tried that.
If it's not the focus board or the VIM circuit (blue has a special Color tracking circuit to help minimize non-linearity with R & G), then I would start to suspect the tube |
Ok, did all that last night, no luck
Listen, I'm sort of good with having this problem until we get a JVC or the like. For the fun of it, how about
lens flapping? Could this be the problem? Upon inspection, the blue tube does seem to have the problem more
in the outer areas...which seems unlikely for a glycol problem?
Thanks

You never did remove the lens and look into the tube if it is blurry itself?
You could have played with the scheimflug screws too much in the past. Maybe therefore optical focusing is not possible.
If you do optical focus that the screws at the blue lens (center and corner) are in the same area as greens and reds screws are...
is this the best focus achievable?

not really flapping. If flapping was off it would be unfocused either the top half vs. lower half of the screen, or the left side vs. right side.
About the only thing the lens could cause this is if it was too far away from the tube, and your center focus (knob closest to tube) was bottomed out, or too close and the center focus was maxed out. That seems extremely unlikely though.
Like someone posted above you should be able ot compare tube sharpness y looking directly into the tube faces and activating an internal grid patterns (push the # key), (wear sun-glasses ot protect your eyes)
If the red and green lines are think, and the blue is fat, then the tube is out of focus electronically, not mechanically. One last thing you can if you haven't done so, check your flare adjustment
Bring up the dot test pattern
Push pic, then 4 =focus , turn master-focus down to zero
Ramp contrast up to around 80/90
You can bring up just the blue tube by pushing color-3
You should see round circles with a dot in the center, if you see a comet with a tail then you have found your blurriness.
