Thanks for the suggestions. Glad I am learning enough to recognize what sections to concentrate on and my inclinations to concentrate on the vertical circuitry, VOT and yoke were good.
Bob, I do not have a scope yet, so flying blind when it comes to wave forms.
Tom, I have replaced all the candohms and resistors over 1 watt in the set. All caps are done (minus micas and some ceramic pf caps). All resistors and ceramic pf caps in vertical are replaced now too. I did try various tube swapping for the vertical section with no change.
I will proceed to test voltages on the vertical tubes, check wiring and controls, then ohm out the VOT and see where that gets me.
One thing that you did mention Tom, is that vertical switch on the back. It does function and adjusts the top part of the picture from WAY OFF the top edge of the CRT in one position, then moves the top part of the picture down in the other position. Which is the position I took the photos in. The overall poor vertical appearance does not change in either switch position however. I will try cleaning that switch too.
This is where the fun begins!!! Trying to track down what is off with my limited experience and knowledge. Thanks again for the nudges in the right directions.
