I got a trick I'll bet none of you have used..
Testing for vertical on a (solid state ) tv chassis, using a SPEAKER!!!
Simple to do. just get an 8 or more ohm speaker, and place it on the vertical lines, where the yoke would go... you will get a loud, modulated hum, if the vertical ckt. is working right. NOW-- this will NOT tell if it is right on frequency, but it will work, to find out if you have vertical in the first place-- like in a "no vertical" situation, or where you only have the chassis.
DO NOT use this trick, with the horizontal.. WAY too much voltage there, and probably in tube sets, in the vertical ckt, too!!
