I have a full Pic but top 4" of picture is lighter than the rest. Black
horseshoe spape in upper corners . Thought might have been capacitor but
all seem to check out ok.Any suggestions?

Capacitors bad. Look inside the comb filter and pip modules.

Hitachi has had a problem with their screen assy's made during that time;
usually shows up as a lighter colored area around the outer edges of the
screen; only fix is to replace the fresnel

Could also be dust between the screens like happens on the Pioneer sets. I
have heard of similar problems on the Hitachi and Sony screens.
