If the top and/or bottom were messed up but the sides OK, well, that's a horse of a different RGB value! That can't be yoke rotation either, however. I beg to differ, however, on the nature of raster rotation as a result of a weak field passing through the neck, a la earth's field. We produce a monitor to compensate for raster rotation that results from being used facedown into flight simulators' optics, because the image rotates two or three degrees, depending on where you're located on the earth. Admittedly, nearby equipment that could cause the same thing would have to have a large field, not too close, with lines of force in the right direction, but it IS possible. But if the fellow doesn't really have a simple rotation, and has trapezoid or orthogonality distortion(s) instead, the point is moot. I must have misunderstood his description to begin with. Sorry.
