Macintosh SE screen horizontal alignment

Posted by: juanmas on 2018-12-30 05:00:50 Hi! I’m trying to restore a Macintosh SE witch pieces that I’ve been recollecting. The Macintosh boots up fine but the screen is not right horizontally alignment. It’s rotate around 15º to the left. The monitor I’ve found had the two little metallic wheels unglued. I’ve tried moving both up and down but I can not see that the screen goes better. I’ve tried with the options at the logic boards but I can only increase brightness, focus and vertical wide. Any idea? Thanks!!

Typical history: The symptoms appeared immediately after the computer was board-swapped or serviced (not out of the blue). Probable diagnosis: The yoke clamp (on the neck of the CRT) is loose. Solution: Adjust/rotate the yoke for a square picture.
