This is interesting-- and kinda reminds me of something from working on
Star Wars last night... My Star Wars board was hooked up to my WG and
definately exhibited some bowing inward-- like a pincushion adjustment was
missing. Everything else looked fine though, and when viewed on my scope
in X-Y mode everything was nice and linear looking... So this would tend
to suggest that the Star Wars output stages are fairly linear too?

The other interesting thing to try will be to hook up a Tempest or Space
Duel that's properly adjusted for a WG and see if it *doesn't* look right
on a scope...
