Things are getting a little better. I changed most of the smaller capacitors this evening, and a few resistors that were a little tired. The picture has opened up all the way, and high voltage is up to the 10kv as the paperwork says it should be... the other day it only got up to 7kv. The verticle was a bit sensitive, but has calmed down now.
Only bad thing is the audio isn't so great. I'm not really sure how great it was the other night as I didn't even turn it up to a normal listening level. I still have more parts to change, so hopefully that part will get ironed out.
I'm waiting on an order of lytics and some smaller caps to come in... likely wont be here till Friday.
Overall, the picture is looking better. I ran the set for an hour tonight during the news with no problems. Even ran a VHS tape on it... not one bit of tearing across the top!
