Been a little quiet on this thread.
Here's my Zenith 12" Saratoga, after recap and a few other parts.
After getting it all done I still had the same vertical problem that I started with - severly expanded center of picture and compressed top and bottom. After 2 days of beating my head against the work bench, it finally came to me (must have been all those shocks from the metal CRT shell) on the Zenith chassis ground isn't always ground everywhere on the chassis. The top is insulated from the bottom and sides, when I replaced the 3 sections of one of the electrolytic cans, I grounded the replacement caps at a convenient point on the BOTTOM section of the chassis. This was the same as having the original open electrolytic can in the circuit. Moving the ground point back to the top section of the chassis and a great picture popped in.
