Well I've been looking at the '60 console. It turns out the actual problem with the vertical was the vert lin control itself. There were a couple of dead spiders stuffed in there, and it seems they were pulling it apart, There was a ball of fine wire in there which I think was unravelled from the control itself. Either way, you turn it, and it just goes from basically open to shorted with nothing inbetween.

The set also had the usual 60 cycle hum in the picture, so I know I have leaky electrolytics in the power supply. I'm just going to recap while I'm in here, electrolytics and the few "bumblebee" caps that are still in here while I'm at it.
