You still have problems in the vertical deflection circuits, probably
another flakey electrolytic, may even be in the supply circuit to the
vertical. FWIW, check the connections at the vertical iutput ic also, seen
way too many of these with cracked solder connections at the pcb.

This set has what sort of looks like retrace for the first two or
three inches down from the top. I found a 100uf 16V high ESR
electrolytic in the vertical circuit but replacing it didn't seem to
help. The thing is when watching a program with full screen the
problem is usually there constantly. However when the commercials come
on sometimes they appear to be shown in wide format with the top and
bottom black for the first inch or so. It is during these times that
there doesn't seem to be a problem. It seems to depend on what
commercial is showing and sometimes the luminence level that brings
it on. Does this seem like anyhing common on this set? Thanks. Lenny.
