If you or someone has a schematic of the video, vertical and CRT sections and could post it, it would help.

Ok...The first thing I did this morning was to pull the 12au7 video amp tube, as soon as I pulled the tube I got a good raster, I had previously tested the tube and it tested good but I decided to replace it with a brand new 12au7, after installing the new tube I lost the raster again. I've also noticed that with the tube removed and raster present that the bright control has no picture effect but it does act as a volume control for the audio, turn the brightness ccw and the audio volume decreases and vise versa. I'm not sure if this is a normal reaction of having the video amp removed?

I will scan the schematic and post it shortly.
