I want to live there.
and hey, if you could write us drooling fools here the « basic » procedure you use to adjust the screens, we would be eternally grateful!
Thats the tricky part. With analog stuff, you just have to get a feel for it. Every tube and chassis is unique in it’s own way and you just have to practice... Like practice a lot
The most important part is that it looks good to you, the owner of the cab.
but..... If you are like me, you will change your mind like a million times and recalibrate until the cows come home... The great thing about this is that you’ll soon get comfortable around CRT’s and know what you can touch and what to stay the hell away from.
Here are some links to some good info written by smarter people than me.
I think they cover the basics setups nicely.

Adjusting convergence rings and using convergence strips is something I don’t recommend you start with, since it’s easy to mess up a perfectly good image fast, but this guy knows his shit and thought me a lot.
He has a great (but a little dorky
) YouTube channel.

I make my own convergence strips, but you can also buy them on ebay.
Good luck with your calibrations!
