Heater voltage on 6CG7 is fine. I want this fixed for good. How can I do this? Please help!

Sorry I was not around yesterday, A good friend passed away.
If you start getting pissed off, Take a break from the set. The problem may be you replaced a mica cap with a ceramic cap. Try and find a film cap and replace it again. Double check your work. See if you missed something. Also can you adjust the horz hold to a normal picture when the set is cold? Most of us have been through the same thing, So you are not alone. It takes time to learn how to fix vintage TV.
