Hi Bob,

I should have said in my "update", I didn't list all the tests I
performed.

There is no coupling capacitor to the yoke in this TV.

For now, I put the "DOG" aside so I can work on other "stuff".

Hi,

Both measured a loss of capacitance, but it made no improvement.
"2465" 10/160 tested very good, however I replaced it, but it didn't
fix the problem.

several joints that seem to lack good solder bond.

"abnormal".

Hi,

service shop with a loss of vertical deflection. *I do not have SM.

*For a moment after the TV is turned on, there is some vertical deflection,
but it collapsed into a single horizontal line in the middle.

* I checked solder joints at the vertical IC, resoldered them anyway, but
this had no effect. *Note: I soldered other joints too. *Flexing and tapping
on mother board has no effect.

If you have a scope, it and a dc voltmeter, you should be able to
check the voltages on the output transistors to make sure they are
biased correctly and then check the waveforms. If you don't see any
sawtooth at the output of the pair of output transistors, that's your
problem. If you do have a sawtooth there, then maybe the capactior
coupleing the output to the deflection coils is open/
