They were a BEAR to converge 55 years ago, let alone 2021.
I too have found the RH side is the biggest culprit.
You might get it marginally better if you play with it enough.
Then again, it may get worse.
At their current age, delta gun sets will not get "perfect" convergence.
Watch the program, not the convergence. I should just be glad that at this point in time the set works! Its obviously not going to be a daily watcher. So on occasion I will sit in my recliner, cross my fingers and turn the set on. It is a piece of tv history that I am just trying to preserve. I have a friend who actually worked at the RCA plant when they were building these sets. He said to consider it a miracle that these old tvs still come to life when you turn the switch on. One thing I will do is to install a computer fan to try and keep the flyback cooler. The red fringing on the right will always bother me but sometimes it is best to compromise and be thankful that it actually works! Sorry if the pictures came out sideways. They were upright on the computer when I uploaded them.

I do agree with what others have said, sight placement of the convergence parts on the neck forward / back could have an effect on this, as most likely with this you CAN NOT see exactly where to put it, I have spent many hours trying to get mine JUST right, and never quite have
