I haven't used a CRT monitor for years and now I have one up and running but the image is "interlaced" to put it or another way to explain the image is its like scan lines from some emulators options, the image seems to have black horizontal lines not really bad ones but it might be that I haven't used a CRT for so long and that I'm used to LCD type monitors, I have seen three dials on the flyback transformer and some sort of adjustments on the tube neck would any of these settings remove the "scan lines" that I see?

This depends on the resolution. In low resolutions, scanlines are normal. Actually, they improve the image, IMO, as it makes pixelation less obvious.

You can adjust one or both of the focus dials to hide the scanlines, one roughly controls vertical focus, other horizontal. You will make the image blurry in all the higher resolutions that way however and those dials will not be able to handle constant changes. They're probably rated for few hundred turns before the tracks become unreliable.
