Congrats on finding a good deal on GS - Monitors are getting harder to come
by.

The good news is that the THUNK is what they all do - apparently this the
automatic degaussing feature that many crts had.

Horizontal alignment never seems to something that GS monitors were good at.
Most of the monitors I've ever seen in use all lean to the "left".

Cleaning - I don't know of anything magical - I generally stick to warm
water, maybe a little rubbing alcohol if it's just a bit too stubborn. 
Critically, I never flood.  That's when all kinds of things get loose and
get in the keyswitches and the keyswitches are good you don't want to be
pulling them apart.

We look forward to seeing what you'll do with your new find!
