There seems to be some discrepancy here. Have a look at the manual here on page 4
http://technical-department.servegame.com/monitor_schematic_diagrams/wells-gardner/WG-K7000.pdf and you'll notice 7 adjustment pots on the chassis and 2 adjustments on the flyback which match up to what the manual is saying however your picture is in direct contrast to this suggestion. And have a look at the pics of the chassis. They too match up with the manual.

Then it must be a different series chassis than a k7000 i would asume.

If you have a 7000 chassis here, your blurry image is coming from either a cracked flyback or a failing tube or a broken focus pin in the neckboard, 7000's are notorious for this. Take a good look at the flyback case betwen the two pots, see any cracks? If the screen and focus pots feel like they have dead spots as you twist them, this is most likely where your problem lies.
