I have an old RCA but its my baby and the picture is screwed?

There is usually a focus control inside the TV. Often accessible as a rotary control, integrated on the line output transformer.

However, it's in an area of the circuit carrying "extremely high voltages" and should only be adjusted by a qualified person.

However, if it's an old TV there's a fair chance the tube has failed. Ask your dealer for an estimate to check the focus.
