Of *course* all three CRT's are perfectly synchronized - they are displaying
a picture that arrives as a single video signal.  Any error in synchronization
of the three spots on the projection screen will be visible as a colour
fringe (bad colour convergence).

So, if the projector provides a decent image on screen, then the three
spots have to be in the same spot at the same time, providing a single
target for the light gun.
