Is there a way to adjust a Sony CRT for convergence like issues?

I have a Sony KV32HS500 TV and it looks to me like the reds and
blues don't line up at the bottom corners. The offset is about an
eighth to a quarter of an inch. This is seen for about six inches
out from the corners. So if I was to look at the CBSHD bug there
would be distinct separations of colour.
I know that on rear projection HDTV's the convergence can be
adjusted by the consumer, but is there anything that can be done
with a CRT? Is a service call in order?
Any help would be appreciated!

Sony 32 inch picture tubes employ magnets on the neck and magnets placed
around the tube itself to correct convergence. You need a dot generator and
the extra stick-on magnets. If you have not spent time doing convergence
work I would not pick this set to start with.

There may also be some fine registration adjustments available via the
service man menu. Suggest getting a service manual before even attempting
these adjustments or regulating the work to a professional.

Thanks all for the advice. I knew deep down that my answer would
lie in the yello pages...
