Hey Sampson,

I had a CTC-16 with the vertical stretch issue. Couldn't get the vertical stretched all the way. Did this set gradually get worse and stay there, or was it like that when you got it.. Look for the 150k 1/2 watt resistor between the vertical lin and vert height. It's probably bad. If it's not that resistor, it's the 150k resistor between the vert cent and vert height. It's most likely aged and faulty. Just replace it even if it reads good. I had a head scratcher, same issue. I replaced it and voila, problem solved. Also replace tghat horrible lytic on the vertical board, I believe it's a 50mfd.

Good luck!
