rcaman: your verticle problem as described to me. sounds like a leaky main filter capacitor. is the picture breathing or have a slow hum bar rolling up the screen. you may have low b+ voltages throwing off the other circuits. feel of the electrolytics and see if they are unusally warm. steve

I have never heard a vertical problem described so perfectly. Yes, the screen seems to be "breathing."
Well, as usual, the first place to begin is recapping the power supply. I am very grateful that the set is working as well as it is. It demonstrates no real major problems.
I suspect as well, that after recapping, the power supply should return to its robust self and the picture squash/out of focus when the brightness is turned up should be resolved as well.
Besides the solder joints on the pc boards and making sure the voltages are not overloading the flyback as these flys seem to be sensitive to over voltages, are there any other "hot spots" I should be looking for with this chassis?
