i would check for resistors that have drifted out of their ratings

If the PS or vertical stage lytics are bad then getting the vertical adjusted correctly will be close to impossible.

On one of my Zenith sets I changed all but ~3 of it's original lytics (the ones I left tested fine), and a few months later one of the vertical lytics went open and the vertical shrunk. Until I found and changed that cap no combination of adjustments would yield good height, linearity, and sync simultaneously.
