Sears 8132

This has been a good player for quite a while but a few weeks ago the candohm R109 shorted to chassis. I made one out of discreet components and got that much going but then no vertical sweep. The vertical size control was open. Got a NOS centralab off our favorite auction sight. That got vertical open but the vertical hold control made on sense. The picture would lock for a minute then go rolling fast.
Noticed what looked like a mica C84 from the sync to the blocking oscillator and remembered these could be paper in the square body. Removed it, put it on my cap checker and the eye tube shows it go from fine to nearly shorted intermittently.
Changed it and fine. The 7B5 vertical output tests week so one is on the way.
This set strikes me as a RCA circuit but the tuner is unique. It is split sound.
I know Banderson has one but are there any more?
Sorry the picture is poor but my camera is not good at taking pictures of televisions.

I know another collector that has a combo set with this TV chassis. He's been struggling to get it to work off and on for a few years.

Have not touch mine yet. Good luck patching yours up.
