M # PL0127 C121, RF connector was broken off,
& metal plate has shorted components by the tuner!
All repaired, now vertical has lines throughout the
whole picture! Tried another vertical IC, still the
same! Ideas? Rono.

what does that mean,.... you have vertical lines in the picure?

That would indicate a horizontal related problem, no?

Horizontal lines would be a vertical realted problem.

Are they actually diagonal lines ie herringbone, then you may still
have a bad ground on the F connector. Watch out for AC line isolation
issues.
