Smile Insanity grows by one.. Another tv......

Haven't had any time to take pictures yet, or, get model number, but, here we go, again!

I just spent ten dollars on this gem at a fellow collectors' house nearby....

Brand, RCA Victor
Type set. Television
Format. Portable
Size screen. 18"
Year made. 1972
Picture. BW
This is an all channel television in a wood grained plastic case. It is fully original, and, except for dirt, is in excellent condition.
All complete.
He had it playing several years back. Picutre tube is bright, and, sharp.
Has vertical issues, and, hum in sound.
This is a tube portable, Not solid state.
May be hybrid, but, not sure until I take it apart..
I will need help getting a schematic for this gem.
I suspect bad filters. Also, he said, height, and, lin. controls act like a hold control.
Vert. hold control is affecting the height.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Well, the insanity continues......
It even has all the original antennas!
UHF tuner is NOT click....
Am I crazy????

Vertical circuits are sensitive to leaky capacitors. So recap that section, also weak tubes may also be a problem.
