Tube type TV's sometimes have a rotation adjustment setting, but this 
may be inside and thus a 'tech-export' type of repair. You might try 
googling for a repair manual.

The other choice is to just open the case, ease the tube restraints, and 
just rotate the tube. This was quite easy on tv's built many years ago. 
I remember my father doing it. He ended up wedging a folded up match 
package cover under a bottom corner. If you go this route, just remember 
to have the tv ON, and just pull the plug, so as to *attempt* to drain 
the capacitors before poking and prodding inside. (IIRC my father first 
attempted to rotate the yoke on the neck of the tube but it was fixed or 
glued in place.)

          I may wish to offend you again in the future.
