My Toshiba CF3266A recently developed vertical distortion problem. When
I first turn the TV on I only have picture squeezed from the bottom. It
starts from the middle of the screen and goes up to the top. When TV
warms up (around 10 min), picture stretches almost all the way down but
still distorted. Upper part of it looks stretched. I'm familiar with
electronics repair and need hints what to look for to get it fixed.

Hints:
1. Failing capacitors in vertical circuit.
2. Google groups archive search for Toshiba Vertical. Might even try
google the model number.

#2 will probably give you the specific information you need.

I couldn't find exact model. Can you tell me what caps to replace?

I got 3 caps replaced. 1 uF leaked. That fixed one problem with slow
streaching. Picture still doesn't look good. Top half streached. How
can I adjust circle to be a circle?

How can I adjust geometry? Is there a service menu or there are
adjustments on the board I can use?

look like eggs.

Replaced 2 leaking 2.2 uF caps. Looks like it resolved geoetry
problems. Need to figure out how to deaguss the tube. It has wierd
color patterns all over it.
