[Solved] Did I permanently damage my CRT with out-of-range signal?

Also keep in mind I think I'm on the cool temp preset, and I haven't had time to recalibrate after these last rounds of modifications :)

Looks awesome, the colour balance looks good. Certainly no issues with the CRT guns.
Speaking of which, the "colour balance" pot on the GreenAntz affects the Pr signal only, so red most and blue not at all. Factory setting/default is just below middle/centre position. So if the reds seem a little too bold to your eye, you can tweak that pot down to bring it back into "balance" with the Pb/Y signals.
Similarly, for the "luma" pot the factory setting/default is just below middle.

That's great to know! I'll probably do most of my settings in the menus but it's good to know that's an option :)
I may or may not have mentioned it but this Sony KV-20FS100 was a curb rescue! Someone in a local commodore 64 group posted that they saw it in their neighbourhood and I swung by and grabbed it off the lawn. Little ratty on the outside but some minor adjustments to the convergence pots on top of the set (convenient! thanks sony) and I think it looks pretty decent.
