Vertical is working fine, like it should...
Since about two weeks ago, the picture will not lock in at all now;

When I first got this set working, even the slightest touch of the long plastic horizontal hold tube in the back would make the picture shake...
but it would be fine once you left it alone.

I put in the 1N4148 diodes, checked alot of resistors, replaced a few, and replaced a few small caps as well... still no difference.
I am wondering if I should just change all the caps in the horizontal circuit?
Maybe overkill, but it's always impossible to test any values accurately while they are in the circuit...
