Thanks to the replies to my post about no vertical deflection, this 1995 Philips tv is working again. Apparently C432 (100/250) failed causing R504 and R524 to overheat and crack solder. Somehow, this caused the vertical deflection to malfunction causing the 24 volt fusible resistor R445 (1 ohm) to open. I had already replaced the vertical IC (IC550, LA7838) so I dont know if it was bad or not. C432 checked OK on cap, leakage, and ESR, but the top was a little bulged and it had been replaced before, so it got replaced again. I have seen electrolytics that had shorted and recovered but they will short again.
