After whining and bitching and bitching and whining that I didn't want to get into trying to diagnose it any further (what after all this crap over the years), I got the Sams from reeferman and traced the entire vertical circuit. Tested every component. Nothing.
Then I tested the vertical lin pot, and bingo.....seems that there's something broken off inside that with a gentle movement of the wire, makes the reading go from 1K to about 50 ohms. So that's next.....
