Speaking of cheap cabinets on TVs the worst one I have encountered that my dad had was a funai TV rebranded as Sylvania from 2004. The tv was 27" when you tried to move it you would think the tube would was going to fall out of the tv. The TV about a year ago lost vertical and just had a white line. I have no desire to fix a funai special TV. I swapped the tv out for 24" funai CRT TV from 2005 that I had in storage. my dad has been using for over and even thow it's a cheap funai it has already out lasted most peacie junk TV's that are made today.

That set with no vertical sweep could be caused by something as simple as cold solder joints on the vertical output IC. If that's not it, the vertical output IC is likely bad and the feed resistor that supplies B+ to the IC is likely also open. Usually, the IC fails because of a bad 100uf or 220uf boost cap that is located close to the vertical IC. Usually, when that cap starts to fail, you'll notice foldover and/or white lines at the top of the screen. As cheap as those Funai CRT sets are, they still hold up better than many flatscreen TVs.
