I wrote all this for a Facebook reply, but so more people can get some use from it, I made this post here.
9 Vectrex adjustment places.
There are 9 adjustment dials (and 2 tube yolk rings). Two tiny for the high voltage, (prob don't need to mess w/those), 2 yellow, pencil eraser size, ones on the power board (side pub) mostly height & width. Of the final 3 - it is not recommended to change the back center DAC offset which is a black donut with a white inside. The 2 that will change the slant are at the back, side without the "cart slot" corner. They are white plastic nubby wheels that can be adjusted with a fingertip while the unit is plugged in and on. When on just keep away from the tube back, and the top power board where the high voltage is.
If you are still afraid to turn the adj wheels when turned on, they have small slots that will fit a tiny flat screwdriver. All the adjustments are meant to be used with plastic TV adjustment tools, basically plastic screwdrivers and hex sticks and a straw-like extender to get way in there but staying away from the places that can shock you.
For completeness, the last 2 most known adjustments would be the brightness that sticks out through the case, and then the on/off volume.
