I received my tube order for this set.. I still haven't replaced the electrolytic cap on the sweep board.. But there is a vertical bar of about an inch or two on the top and bottom of the screen, and if I adjust the width to fill the screen, it just stretches the images.. With my Leader pattern generator I can get a round circle with the screen not fully blown up, but with it blown up I get an oval shape.. I did check all the resistors that are 1.5meg and up in the vertical circuit and they seem to be in reasonable spec.. The sharpness and contrast controls do nothing.. And it appears to be too much contrast on the screen that I can't adjust.. I measured the sharpness pot and it measures something like 3 ohms and it doesn't change as I adjust the pot.. The contrast pot, however does seem to be fine and the ohms does go up/down as I adjust the pot...
