If you've never seen the set up for a delta tube, I'll take some pictures of my Thorn 2000 which will show you how big the yoke is and how many convergence controls there are!

Monitor tubes sporting a delta-like shadow mask, have a normal inline gun and the adjustments are not much more complicated than those in inline tubes. I think the delta pattern in this case was used to get more and smaller pixels in the same area.
