Now that I'm spending more time looking over photos of other working sets I guess it seems alright to be missing a few inches from the edges, especially on roundies. Regular broadcasts are fine otherwise but you better hope that shows with subtitles use small text or else you'll be missing the ends. Just look at the photo above for a better idea on how much if the image gets cut off. I can fiddle with the yoke again to see if it is just neck shadow I'm experiencing but under most conditions it's hard to notice. I really like the whole assembly this set uses to support the yoke compared to later computer CRT's I've had to tweak. Everything is either secured with wing nuts or simple screws and it will all stay in place when you are not touching it.
As for those dogbone ceramic caps, there's one in the center of the photo. You can see another one hiding under an orange drop.
Really it's not too hard for me to replace them because new ones cost only a few cents, if not just under a dollar. They just seemed really out of place compared to every other ceramic capacitor in the set and there's three of them in the same general circuit. The width thing was making me pull all sorts of assumptions. Got knows how much time I wasted but hey, at least it was less variables to deal with.

in hindsite-i should have mentioned that you sometimes have to readjust vert hold while changing vert height/lin-maybe Mips already knew this.

I clued in after adjusting them both a few times.
I'm going to replace that one blown disc cap, the filter caps and a couple 220k resistors because what the heck, it's only $1.50 in parts and I believe we're done with the electronics finally. Again, thanks for the help ronl.
