The colors on top left cornes were o bit disaligned, so I said to myself why not try to adjust rings, how hard could it be... So I began.
Using a gentle presure to get them to move apart didn't work since the white paint holds them tight together so I applied maybe a little more force then needed and the old backed plastic broke apart, the rings moved freely and no may to tighten them back.
Took the whole asembly out and put another one that I salvaged out of an samsung CRT (I think). This one is an Samsung 5130B22-TC

Now there is no way I can align the red an blue guns. I can get a decent aligment on the bottom half, but the top half is way off. Same with green in relation to red and blue. I'll leave the purity for later.

Any tips on what steps must be taken in order to align the guns?
I use an checkered pattern without the green signal.

Are you missing green?
Or your not using green ?

If your using a checkered pattern without green , Can I ask why are you not using green ?

I have a monitor with no green it’s been
Doing my head in for ages!

I did wonder if it could be convergence
Rings that have shifted the green out of alignment.

So with that being said. There must be
Rings for each colour gun

I'm not using the green. On set of the rings is to align red in relation to blue or blue in relation to red. Another set of rings is for the green in relation to red and blue. The last set of rigs is for purity. Purity is if you have a screen filld with only one color and in some parts of it is discolored and degausing dosen't help.

The yoke must not be aligned well here. I have no ideea. I ordered now some convergence strips of ebay, maybe they'll help.

I always thought the green gun was fixed and connot be adjusted - the rings are used to adjust red and blue to align with green.
