the set is a 1949 motorola tabletop 7 inch the chassis is a ts18. i already replaced all electrolytics, all the wax paper caps and several resistors in and around the verticle and horizontal as well as checked the pots and even swapped some pots as i have a parts chassis from 1948 but the pots are the same nothing worked. when i got done with this set the verticle worked but only if the hold pot was maxed to one end and got worse and eventually now it rolls so bad its got a white line and the pic can be seen but its rolling to much. resistors around the vert size and hold, nothing else bad all that is left is the micas and the ceramics in the horiz and vert circuit. i have run out of things to look for, there is nothing else. maybe you guys can shed some light on this problem that maybe i overlooked. the 900mmf cap measures 1.01 when it should measure 0.9 so that cap may have something to do with this and i dont really know if this is a criticle cap for the vert circuit. i measured the 680mmf and i got .069 so this one is up alittle. so i decided to get all the caps , micas , ceramics . i think i ruled everything else out at this point and now im pulling my hair out with this problem as i didnt expect the micas to be the blame but this set is 66 years old and getting older and these caps do go bad i have read. so yes any help would be great at this point,lol,. actually i think the caps in the verticle are ceramic but i decided to get all of them because the horiz has a little bit to do with verticle instead of only doing half.
