ok, well the vertical is kinda fixed. The distortion went away when I put the proper capacitor in, but there is still insufficient height - now with a supplementary problem. Intermittently I loose sweep for about a half a second. Tube swapping has no effect on the problem.

The low width / low hv problem also seems to actually be a power supply issue. I also loose brightness and the vertical is somewhat shrunken too. B+ is low while this symptom occurs and it too becomes more intermittent as the set warms. Perhaps its just a bad solder joint. I resoldered just about all the boards in this thing already!

Looks like its time to pull the chassis again.....
