Oh yeah, I also figure me moving everything around to get the back
cover off and then pulling the main board out some might've
reconnected a bad/cracking connection.

Would either of those you mentioned be a relatively inexpensive
replacement at a shop?

It doesn't need a replacement, as such, it needs a professional
resoldering of the vertical deflection circuitry. Don't try it
yourself, because the pins are very close together, and should you
bridge then and not see it, then it could be anything from an
expensive repair to not worth the money.
