Just had a Sony Model KV-1380R given to me a couple of days ago. Only
problem is simultaneous but intermittent horizontal and vertical
shrinkage of about 20%, on a random basis.

It sounds like the EHT is increasing substantially. Does the set have
separate horizontal deflection and EHT generation circuits? Is there a
H-stat?

Would also make the image brighter, wouldn't it?

Sylvia.

Yes, I would think so.

As for the effects on H & V size, if the set generates the EHT from
the line stage, then I'm finding it difficult to comprehend how the
size varies proportionately in both directions.

If the B+ were to increase, then the horizontal deflection current
would also tend to increase. However the vertical deflection current
should remain unchanged because there is a low ohm, current sensing,
feedback resistor in the yoke circuit. At the same time, the EHT would
increase and the raster would shrink.

AFAICs, the width should be far less affected than the height.
