Hi guys, I do not know the proper english term but basically my eMac screen image moves all the time to a point in which it is not possible to read the text.

In the old days, after a while the image would eventually stay, bit now it just does not happen.

Any tips?

Best regards,

The CRT is dying, or you've put it near a source of interference, like an oven, microwave, fan or mobile phone.

Try moving it somewhere else.

Otherwise, the CRT is dying and your only hope is to use an external screen or replace the entire machine.
