Checked all the voltages that I could and all checked within spec of the schematic even when the horizontal issue is happening, so I took it to one of my firends that is a expert with restoring/repairing vintage TV's. I replaced even more resistors and even changed out the orange caps that usually stay good but no change whatsoever, from what we found out it's either going to be the yoke or the flyback more than likely, one thing I failed to check was the flyback after running around 30mins we checked it and it got so hot it would actually burn your finger and you couldn't touch it, even with the flyback cage open it still gets hot which in turn seems to make the power transformer extra hot, I put a fan isolated on the fly back cage and the thing ran fine for hours and the Flyback stayed cool so my guess is the fly back has some kind of a short or something in it as everything else has been checked. I have a replacement fly back so I think that might be my best bet as of now
