I recently played with the adjustments inside my SM124 and found I could do
lots of things to my screen.

I now have a picture that fills almost the ENTIRE screen, although I have
a teeny weeny bit of a fuzzy picture in the corners of the display.

Among the adjustments I found (Just tried them all, and most were even labeled!)
were: Vert hold, move image left/right, widen/heighten adjustments...
One I am going to have to play with again is Vertical Linearity.  The top
row of my screen is a little taller than the bottom row of my screen.

The one adjustment I couldn't find, and wanted is the "move image up/down",
cause my screen would be better if it were a "little bit" lower.

Of course I was using long plastic rods to adjust my monitor, and don't suggest
to anyone that they use anything that will help them get shocked, cause
everyone knows that they can hold a charge for a long time if not discharged.

All the adjustments are not with similar components.  Some are POTs and
some are those coil things with the screw plundgers.  Some are even seem
to be hidden.

Check every inch of every circuit board in the moniter.

I can't be sure that you have the same monitor I do internally, but I would
bet that your monitor has the same adjustments in one way or the other.
