1.A return cap is a AC signal return path to prevent signal voltage
interference
2. Ringed out is what happens when a solder joint is cracked around a
terminal connection, and it appears
as a circle
3.The set may or may not have a pin amp & or pincushion coil, but it
will have some method of correction
you would need a schematic for the set or a similar set to compare with

4.These circuits control the corners & centers of the picture to create
straight sides not this ( or . basically
"exaggerated, but I think you get the point"

What is a return cap and how can i pinpoint it?
bad solder joints i can identify and they look ok. I'll suck out the
old solder and redo any of the larger ones just to be sure.
I am not sure what you mean by (ringed out) pincushion, pinamp

The usual suspects are yoke return caps, bad solder joints, (ringed
out) pincushion, pinamp, coils
etc most often its a ringed out solder terminal connection, so do a
very close inspection (magnifier ) sometimes just resoldering all the
connections
in the area that look a little suspicious works.(not shiny) hopes this
helps

I have a sylvania 6427cta
It had a Shorted HOT. All else looks ok. I replaced the HOT and powered
it up.
B+ measures 120v on and 43V when turned off.
Problem now is no picture. Just a single vertical line. I know this is
usually yoke connections but all looks well. Connections are good.
windings measure ok.

any suggestions?
