I have a 1010 "in a basket" now too....Seemed every time I touched something to figure out it's vertical problem, I would break something else....until it just wouldn't come on at all. I found the most fragile mechanical point is that ribbon between the two boards. It's not flexible enough to be messed with too much, and I kept breaking some connection at one side of it or the other all the time.

I had that 1010 since new in Hong Kong.....so it actually ran QUITE well until around two years ago when it first came on with just the horizontal line. That was just some touching up of some lousy looking solder points. About six months ago....I noticed it had a raster and nothing else. I got WAY too far into it without any luck...and then had trouble with the ribbon connections that caused me to keep having to touch them up as I kept moving the set around.

As it sits NOW "in a basket"....I could probly power it up if I jumpered all those ribbon connections....but it will still have no tuner whatsoever, so it sits....looking like that picture you posted up there.
