Hah ! After 25 years, last week I saw my very first vertical failure on
a 169. They are very rare. This was a real one, last time it was the
degaussing transistor, as it kills vertical during degauss. Technically
that one wasn't really vertical failure.

Yeah, I did mean rare. Anyway, I have a stubborn 169 CTV with
intermittent vertical collapse. Already resoldered whole area. Yes I
made sure of no glue there!
