Please help me fix my RPTV.
I have a Mitsubishi 36” RPTV Model# VS-360R form the 80’s. For a while now, it’s had major problems and I’ve just been lazy to fix it but I can’t stand it anymore.

Sorry for my lack of drawing skill.
The top picture looks like what my Tv looks like when I watch it. The bottom is curved, the sides aren’t straight, and the convergence is all messed up.
The bottom picture is what it looks like when I put the TV into “test mode”. It has a horizontal and vertical line that are supposed to line up with the middle markers on the screen (represented by black splotches.) It has a red, green, and blue line, and you can adjust the red and blue lines. When they all line up the line becomes white. Problem is when I adjust it so the top of good, the bottom colors are separated, and vise versa. I tried to illustrate what it looks like in the bottom picture. The colors are off balance like this on the horizontal line too, but not as bad so I didn’t illustrate it.
And I’m not sure why the vertical line is off a good 2” to the left, or why the horizontal line is up a little bit, and why both lines are leaning to one direction.
I opened up the back, and there are adjustment knobs, but all in Japanese :rolleyes: but besides, I don’t know what to adjust, is it the mirrors, or the projector inside? And I’m nervous sticking my hand in there anyway, I have no desire to die of electrical shock anytime soon.
I thought this was going to be an easy fix, but now I just have a big headache. Don't have any money to take it to the repair shop, so it's fix it myself or downgrade to a 27" toshiba. Any help would be great.
