Weren't CRTs subject to geometry problems?

I agree on the superiority of a CRT's picture (though my Kuro comes pretty darned close), but my 36" XBR had (and still has) some very obvious geometry problems (straight lines that are curved, including the upper and lower frames of letterboxed images). Is this sort of thing fixable by a technician? I'm actually not worried about it at all, since this TV is now being used by my dad and he prefers to watch everything full-screen (zooming in on letterboxed broadcasts--I know, the horror!), so the problems aren't noticeable at all (unless there are straight lines in the picture, in which case he wouldn't notice anyway ;-) ).
