Turns out this is a 8111, Curt musta felt sorry for me and sent me a little bit of an upgrade or else he screwed up and sent me the wrong pj and since possession is 9/10's of the law..... (hee hee) Anyway, it's got more setup options than the 8000 WOO HOO......
Anyway... my menu has "Stigmators (not installed) menu options, so I guess I'll have to manually adjust those if necessary,
The 8110 is a much better machine thatn the 8000 but the 8110 doesn't have electronic stig or color correction board (zone contrast modulation) for uniform sceen brightness. the second board is a cheap, nice and easy upgrade assuming your U35 chip is V3.0 or higher needed to see the board.

but here's my concern. Adjusting individual beam focus. ramping it all the way one way gives me the donut..... mid range I see TWO dots not one dot with a halo, then ramp it the other direction and I get the bright fuzzy ball. What am I seeing here with two dots? I swear I wasn't drinking at the time, but I'm thinking it's a good time to start if I'm gonna have to go play around in the "scary place" as someone called it.
looks like the tips of the tube cathodes have been stripped off, typical of Marquee tubes with high stand-by (video mute) hours.

Thanks. I'm going to have to do this again.... I just cannot get the dots to look right. I fiddled with it to the point last night I think I had worse results than when I started...... I gave it one more shot after that and it got better. Hubby and everyone else says it looks amazing, but it's just not quite there yet.
