Note that on the design of the kcs47 chassis that the sync take off point is after the contrast control at the video amplifier. If the contrast is reduced (less video amplifier gain) the sync amplitude is reduced. This may aggravate an already weak (problem) sync condition. Note that the kcs66 reverted back to constant amplitude sync (sync take off before the contrast control).
I assume that you have replaced the capacitors in the sync separator section? Do you have a scope to check sync amplitude? Do you notice with the test CRT if the contrast control setting is higher? Does adjusting the control to increase the contrast help with vertical sync?
Otherwise it is checking voltages, waveforms and substituting tubes in the sync section?
