Is it an L&A cab like mine, if so it may have a Kortek monitor, there will be a sub PCB with hor shift, hold, bright etc- have you adjusted these pots.

Also there is an adjustment just below the focus on the lfbt. Thats the screen voltage adjustment pot, if set too low you get low brightness and maybe flairing on peak whites or RGBs.
Too high and you will be able to see retrace lines.
It should be adjusted in low ambient light conditions so that the phosphors just about illuminate on black level, then back off slightly.
WARNING- Very high voltages around the lfbt stage.

Looking at the monitor PCB topside with the flyback transformer/ output transistor aluminium heatsink top RHS, the socket for the sub board wiring is bottom RHS, follow these wires. The sub board will be screwed to the rear inside of the cab.
I forget exactly where, mine are loose as I mess around with other boards and am forever adjusting the pots.

BTW welcome to the forum Sazabix, only said this the other day to another Australian member with a L&A aussie cab. Good to see :)
