So guess what's back?

And have a few issues. Again

First off, the set was working great, and I decided to get it back. Got it home, plugged it in, full raster, but no picture. Saw a wisp of smoke from the tuner

Replaced the tuner. Everything worked, but the picture was HUGELY vertically stretched and no color.

Turns out that the last owner who I got it back from who shall remain nameless yanked out the oscillator (6KT8) to stick in another set, and since the tube was buried I didn't know it was missing.



So now, everything seems okay, but I have vertical foldover at the bottom and to be honest, I'm not sure where to even go with this. I no longer have a schematic for it.....hopefully someone's got the Sams that can point me in some direction.

All tubes are checked, and the set's practically brand new with all the stuff that I've done to it......
