Oops sorry, its the horizontal line. Spoke to a colleegue who also thinks
its a bad solder.
The next question - where is the "Vertical Output Circuit" is it on the main
board ???

Thanks !!

which one is it? Horiz or vert?



It's pretty clear that the picture is vertically squashed into a
horizontal
line as he said, so the vertical deflection circuit has a fault, could be
as
simple as a cracked solder joint, but without some skills it's best to
take
it to a shop, these are very good sets, but somewhat difficult to service.
