Ok I put the set back together with most of the condensers replaced (couldn't get some values but only about three).

I GOT FULL VERTICAL SIZE! WOOT!

But now there is another problem. Set is only snowy with a thin brighter line down the center, top to bottom. I'm thinking it could have something to do witht he yoke, which spins freely on the neck.

I also might not have reinserted the yoke plug right in the socket. I speculate this because although I am getting full vertical, perhaps it's not being directed where it should. Let's see what the Sylvania book says.

Even though this is a Hoffman TV, my Sylvania book, which I got for only $0.99 on eBay, is very useful in troubleshooting. "Servicing TV receivers" by Sylvania Electric Products Inc. First Edition 1950. It feaures test patterns and schematics of what to look for, and troubleshooting tips. I highly recommend a book like this.
