External 3B1 Monitor Project Status; and help needed

[Bill Mayhew]

Horizontal width is virtually always controlled by an inductor, not
a pot.  Check in the vicinity of the flyback transformer.  There
should be a cardboard tube about 10mm in diamter and 30-40 mm in
length with a large bolus of litz wire near the top.  The width is
controlled by moving a powdered iron slug up and down inside the
tube (hence changing the reluctance of the coil).  Adjustment is
accomplished via a plastic hex wrench.

The coil should have a profile something like this:

                    _
                 __| |__
                 |     |  <- coil
                 |     |
                 --| |--
                   | |  <- cardboard tube
                   | |
                  _|_|_       <-  circuit board


As far as delaying the video.  Hmmm.  I don't know.  Perhaps the
width adjustment will take care of that?..
