I have done this on some other Motorola's by using 1600 volt capacitors in the vertical and horizontal stages but it doesn't seem to work with the TS-4's
Since the TS-18 is nealy identical I was curious. Reaching behind to adjust the horizontal constantly is a bit of a pain.
And this one is a BASKET case! No knobs, back and missing a good number of parts. I kept it because the CRT is perfect!

I sure would like to find out about this myself because the set in my avatar is my beloved Motorola 9VT1 which uses the TS-18 chassis. My problem is the vertical hold drifts during warmup and yes it is a pain to reach behind the set to adjust it. I can't understand why Motorola put those controls in the back when they are prone to drifting and nearly every other brand of set has them in front. What were they thinking? I know these sets must have needed frequent adjustment even when new.
