Samsung 419 Service Menu, Convergence Options?

My friend has recently aquired a used Samsung 419 HD CRT, and after spending a few dozen hours, we have fixed most of the geometry and overscan issues that came with the set.

However I have noticed that the convergence is out, and that this is the last thing we need to do to get the TV back up to a reasonable standard. However I do not know which one of the options in the service menu adjusts both the horizontal and vertical convergence, red and the blue.

If anyone familiar with the Service menu could let me know, that would be a great help?

I have that very same problem, red definately out more than blue especially to the top left of the picture. I haven't looked yet but I do remember the old tvs had these things adjusted from the rear of tv, ie: removing the back and attenuating little screw devices on the video board attached to the tube, maybe the same here. just a thought.
