A sad little story: in the very early 90s I found myself with 1)lots of extra storage space, 2)lots of cheap/free sixties color sets that everyone was getting rid of & 3) a little knowledge. I had read somewhere that yokes were bonded to crt's (think later model solid state stuff). I had several good running sets with intermittent vertical problems. I thought it was a yoke problem and, further, I figured this meant the set needed a new crt and so was doomed, so I parted them out. In particular there was a 21" rectangular Sylvania console with the prettiest picture and I destroyed it because it "flatlined". Live and learn.
