Magnavox Windsor Imperial - TV Help

Hello all, I'm new to the forum, and look forward to getting to know you.

Several years ago I found a Magnavox Imperial Windsor on craigslist for $500. Neither the seller nor I knew what it was. It was a family pass down for him, and my first old radio. I knew it was special by the looks of it.

It is very original, with some cabinet dings from moving the beast over the years. I recapped the radio and amp a couple years ago with success. :-)

Always wanted to get into the TV, but was intimidated. Recent retirement gave some time to recap the (paper and electrolytics) the TV. Getting the Ecaps into the chassis turned out to be a challenge. I ended up placing them schematically correct under the chassis, but fear that I have introduced some noise and unintended performance abnormalities. After reading through others solutions, I have decided to remove the old ecaps mount a board above the chassis.

I am able to power up the unit and light the CRT, but the vertical scanning is only half height ~5" at the full height adjustment. Additionally, it appears to be compressed at the bottom of the scanning. Are there other components I should be looking to replace? Tell me its just a tube

Thanks in advance!

Greg
