Look at where that cap is in the circuit, it goes from the contrast wiper to ground. If it was shorted it would cause biasing issues with the video out.

Yea take a break, you can come back to it later and will be freshend up. If I spend too much time on one tv my eyes start to blur out then I know its time for a few days off.

well if that cap were shorted then the contrast control would not work or work well? because it works very good.

If it was shorted it would work very well but it would shift the dc bias on the tube. Why not just check it?
