    Default How do you adjust the pincushion on a television?

    I have an old 80's Samsung TV that I picked up for 5 bucks, and the only thing wrong with it is the display is bowed a bit in like this ") (" . I've been inside a few TVs before, but not to correct a problem with the display. Is there a specific knob that adjusts this, anywhere I should look?

    Thanks in advance

    There probably isn't an actual adjustment for the pincushion, being the age of what it is. I would check out the capacitors on the board, it's likely you've got a bad one (or more) that is causing your problem. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
