the cap did the trick, rock solid. My cap tester only goes to 1000uf so I could only test it for leakage. I figure it may have been an ESR issue rather than a leakage issue. I had noticed before the jitters started to happen that the pic was shrinking up from the bottom a bit more than normal. At 1st I attributed it to just the way a thermistor in a yoke may have been behaving, but now I think it may have been the cap. I know ESR goes down with heat, and the cap sits right next to the heat sink from the defection transistors. I am pretty sure I checked on that switch when I 1st started trouble shooting the vert (that was a problem from the get go).
