Hi, I have a question about the vertical linearity on this set. I get lots of vertical height, the problem seems to be the width of the scan lines between the bottom half and the top half of the picture. The bottom half the lines have a lot of spacing between them, and the top half seems tighter together. If a man is standing with his waist in the middle of the screen his upper body and head is shortened up and his legs at the bottom are longer and out of proportion. The magnets on the back of the yoke only seem to have limited effect, when playing in combination with the vertical linearity control in combination with the horizontal controls. Sams shows (2) 680 ohm resistors R61 & R62 in parallel with the yoke coils. I didn't really notice them when I had the picture tube cover off. Are they located on the front of the black plastic yoke cover (where the magnets are) or are they located underneath this cover. Also, with C53 being a ceramic disc, should I think about replacing it as well ? Those would be the only resistors I hadn't replaced. All paper and electrolytics were replaced with the exception of the original ceramic disc caps. All tubes are NOS.
Thank-you
Tony
