Get a new repair guy. Actually, the TV is working fine, it just needs
convergence aligned for the 1080i mode. You need to find someone who knows
how to do it properly and if this guy didn't know that you have to align CRT
based sets specifically for all scan modes, he is not the "repair guy" that
you want to be using.

Agree with Leonard: If the registration is properly adjusted in all modes
then you would not be posting the information. The set must be adjusted in
full mode and then it must be checked in the other functional modes and the
registration specifically adjusted for those modes. Following that all the
modes must be adjusted and confirmed within specs, and the flash focus then
has to be initialized before leaving the setup. Again, as suggested, have a
different company or a fully qualified technician come out and do it
correctly.
