IDing where they are located.I am of reasonable electrical aptitude and have
the required equipment.Is there a website out there or could someone who has
posted on this particular topic explain to me how i might go about it.

Vertical collapse, resolder the vertical IC pins.

I dunno... My grandmother had an oldish (1988) Philco 27" console set
that
had collapsed and she kept using the set for many months just to listen
to
the audio! She would let it sit and run with this bright as can be
white
line across the screen and didn't mind it at all.

I finally happened to be over at her house one day while the set was
running
and I noticed what was going on. By the time I saw the set, the line
was
no
where near as bright as they are when they first collapse. It had
*plenty*
of burn! Of all things, this was such a simple problem, too... This
set
had a small switch for Service Mode that collapsed the verticle sweep
and
it
had shorted! Cleaning the switch returned proper operation of the set
except for a black horizontal line across the middle of the CRT...

It's a very easy repair job, however if you run it for long with the

white line you'll burn a line into the tube and it's a writeoff.

Well, I assume it's pretty boring watching a white line so maybe
common
sense will prevail.
