RCA 14-S-7070G Horizontal Shrink After Recap
Hey everyone,
I scored a 1957 RCA 14-S-7070G portable locally a couple of weeks ago. I finished doing a complete recap tonight with good initial results, sadly, the 14RP4A CRT is weak.

After running the set for an hour or so, the Horizontal has begun to shrink. I'm guessing a resistor somewhere in the Horizontal section that's drifting as it warms up. The set uses a KCS-102B Chassis. Is anyone familiar with this chassis, and knows where I should start looking for the Shrink problem?
