Crosley 348CP "Swing-A-View" Restoration

Yep, ringing in the horizontal yoke. Check the 56pF cap or 1K resistor hidden in the yoke.

To avoid a possible wild goose chase, it might be worthwhile to ascertain that the bars are deflection-based, and not in the video chain. Shunt the CRT control grid to ground with a cap, which kills the video. If the bars are unaffected, they are in the deflection system. Cap value not critical, anywhere from .047 - .1 or so.

Could either of those parts also be the cause of my raster being off-center to the left and my horizontal centering control being pretty much non-functioning?

I'll give that a try tonight.

I don't think so. The centering control works by adjusting a DC bias current through the horizontal yoke winding. Check the voltage across the centering control and see if the voltage on the wiper changes as you adjust it.

Progress report. The horizontal centering control is broken. It stops at around 10ohm and it's supposed to be a 20 ohm control. Does anyone have a 20ohm control w/center tap and a short thumb screw shaft?

Regarding the horizontal ringing, after shunting the crt control grid to ground to confirm the issue was not in the video, I replaced the 56pf capacitor in the yoke and while the black bars didn't completely disappear, they seemed to be less noticeable. Is it possible the cause can be coming from more than one place?

I also replaced the 6SN7 in the vertical oscillator and the vertical collapse didn't return after that. I'm going to keep an eye on it though as it went away and returned before.
