Alrighty then, I removed enough wires that I could pull the Horizontal board back enough to have full access to the Foil side.
Earlier when I had installed the Horiz AFC diodes I only had a narrow slot to work through, I thought I had soldered the diode in OK but it turns out I missed all three pins entirely, there wan nothing attaching the diode to the board but friction!
I soldered it in good this time with the big Iron, I also replaced a couple resistors, turned out the one I thought was high wasn't really but I replaced it anyway since I had it out.
Put it back together and now I have a rock solid picture, vertical and horizontal, and the horiz will flop both ways.
I didn't have any sound though, I had pretty good sound last night but it seemed a bit touchy, tonight just buzz and an occasional faint wisp of sound.
All I did was poke around and gently adjust the if cans, a bit one way and a bit the other and back where it was.
After a while the sound just started drifting back, low at first and then it came on strong and the buzz subsided, I have no idea why.
Maybe a tube is shorted and it comes and goes, I'll have to check them again.
