I don't know if this might work, but we used to do it in the old days .

Slide the yoke back on the neck a fraction of an inch/centimeter. This
was the way Sony Trinitrons controlled deflection on the older sets. If
it is color, you'll have to go through convergence; if it is b&w you're
home free. Watch out for distortions.
