Hi Phil. In answer to your question #1....My Clifton had rock solid vertical locking and no vertical jitter at all after I recapped it. The vertical jitter modification had not been done on my RA-102 chassis, it was still the original configuration.

Replacing the bad old transformer fixed the vertical problem with the peculiar slanting lines and inability to lock. However, there is a faint vertical jitter that won't go away with any adjustment.
In the "Rider Receiver Trouble Cures" book at the ETF website, I see the following modification for curing vertical jitter in the RA-102:
(The tube shown in that diagram is V16, the same tube shown in the schematic posted earlier.)
A couple of quick questions before I start reworking things on the transformer that I just installed:
1. Has any other RA-102 owner done this, and would you recommend it?
2. What's going on with this mod?
