I have been working on the RCA "chassis 5377" and since found the vertical linearity pot's wiper arm is open. This vertical multi-vibrator circuit is ridiculously simple and if any one component fails*, MAJOR hard fails-not minor symptoms, present like no sweep.
Looking at the SS105, which has a 12AU7 dated 59-35, it also needs to be recapped before I test it on this TV.
* Muntz's rule = remove parts until it doesn't work. known as "Muntzing" a circuit.
