Tony, "cockeyed" is an Americanism for kattywampus :-) :-) :-)
Or, in more standard terms, not straight, twisted, mispositioned, etc.

There are some folks Stateside who do rebuild television CRTs. I have not
had a need to search them out yet as my TVs in the collection either seem
to work well enough or I have no desire to get a gassy or tired CRT rebuilt
as the there is something else presently unrepairable on the chassis. (Last
count I've got around 12 or so pre-1952 TVs in the collection.)
I wonder if by now those rebuilder folks are getting into computer monitor
CRT rebuilding? Hmm, I gotta keep my eye open for rebuilders. (Bill
Donzelli: have you heard of any rebuilders? I suppose I could check with
Harry Poster and see what he does or scour ARC.)
Regards, Chris
