First, a disclaimer: I am new to this forum and I mainly work on B&W. I also think alot of the guys here know more about tv's than I do, so you should probably wait for some other replies, but this is the first time I have been able to discuss old televisions with other people that like old televisions, so I can't stop writing posts, so here is what I would do if it were my set: replace any wax caps in the vicinity of the horiz. osc. tube, this sounds to me like a horizontal problem. One of my B&W magnavox's once did a similar thing, it was as if some of the picture was 'compressed' into a line in the middle of the screen, if this is the same problem there should be a slight discrepency between the picture on one side of the line and the other, as if more of the picture was hidden in the line than there was actually room for.

I just reread your message and I think I misunderstood the first time. Do you mean that the whole picture is pulling to the right on the top, and there is not actually a bright line in the middle of the screen going from top to bottom? If this is so I find that many of my tv's do this when I am watching a vhs tape, but not either regular tv or a dvd, or even a tv signal through a vcr. Actually I think my sets tend to pull the picture to the left on the top when I am watching a tape. I have never been able to figure out why they do this.
