Our office just recently acquired a black and white television. While I
think TV Sucks and the internet is better, my co workers are all
jazzed. Here's the problem, when it's not tuned to a channel, the
picutre (snow) is normal, but when you tune it in to a channel the
picture shrinks vertically. Does it mean a knob needs to be adjusted
somewhere? The outside of the set is in perfect condition, the antenna
ain't even broken. Can it be fixed if it needs to be fixed, or is it to
the firing squaud?


Bad capacitor(s) in the vertical circuit. Probably not worth paying to fix -
sometimes a knowlegeable DIY type person can fix it, armed with this general
info.
