Can anyone do this? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I have an old school projection tv, about 60''. It's roughly 15-20 years old, but not bad for having it given to me. My problem is that the (light) guns are not properly aligned so there is red and green drop shadow in the upper left corner.

I am looking for someone that knows how to fix this, I think if you know what you are doing it's very easy. I would be willing to exchange something. Its a Pioneer, I believe the guns are accessible through the front behind the speaker covers.

If anyone can do this please let me know! TIA

sounds like an adjustment thing. see if you can scrounge up a manual or somethin. maybe you can do it yourself?

You'll need to have a technician who knows what he's doing to come out.

20 years old is really old for a TV.

My brother works for a high end TV/home theater store and they do in home service. I'm not sure if they work on Pioneers or even TVs that old but you can give them a call and ask.

Obviously given the age of the tv I am not going to spend a small future fixing the thing. I may look for the manual or I might just give it a shot based off what my dad tells me, he is the one that made it worse when attempting to make it better. So calling a tv repair man is out, figured I would give it a shot on here first though.
