If I read correctly in the first post, the set was recapped? Could one of the capacitors in the horizontal oscillator be off by a factor of 10? For instance, if it called for a .001 µFD maybe a .01 µFD was installed?

Just a thought.

I have a Blonder Tongue modulator. Channel 13 is the channel I have best clarity with in my house.

And all the capacitors where carefully selected and replaced to have nearly identical values. The only one I had issues with was the 2uF caps. I replaced those with NP 2.2uF caps.

This set had the identical symptom before I even changed out the caps. It basically changed nothing.

I opened up my working set, and removed the sweep board for compareson. After studying both boards I found a .01 cap is missing on the top section of the board.

It's a cap I don't have so I have to make a run out to Chesters.

The missing cap is in the horizontal section.

Was just wondering if the modulator had something to do with scrambled image.
