I made a mistake. I don't know how big yet. I was doing a monitor convergence on the Nanao MS-2931 monitor from my Blast City, the final thing I needed to do before putting it all back together. I had made strips out of sheet plastic and bits of snap off utility knife blades, just like I had seen in an online guide, and had all four corners of the monitor almost perfect. But like a dummy I couldn't just let things go like that. One of the corners was still off by just a tiny bit and I had one more strip, so I thought I would see if I could just get it a bit more perfect. After a few minutes of pushing the strip in and out I could see no improvement and was going to leave it at that only to have the convergence of all three colors fly wildly apart. I tried to get it all back into alignment, then screamed for a while, then went back to trying to fix it. I pulled my strips out and started from scratch finally getting the colors to within a few millimeters of each other on the grid, but that is as good as it gets. Thats far worse than I started with. The two original strips are still in place and I am afraid to try and pull them because the strips are made from some kind of rubber like material that is fragile and seemingly stuck down to the tube and I really don't want to have to disassemble the whole thing to pull them out.
I'm at a loss here as to what I should do. Should I try to make new strips with magnets? I would be eternally grateful to anyone with ideas to help me fix this. Ahg... If I had only left well enough alone.
