The set is fixed. The problem was MISSING R454 (47K surface mount) off pin 4 of IC451. What I did not know was after he resoldered the IC, it went from no deflection to this partial deflection. He must have accidentally removed it when resoldering the IC (it was an ugly resoldering job for a former tech!). The pads were clean so there was no physical evidence of the resistor missing. Thanks to all who sent scans and Jeff Stileau for leading me to the service manual. Once I had these in my possession, I was able to scope waveforms and found several were about half the amplitude and then quickly found the resistor indicated in the schematic was not on the board. Installing the resistor cured it!
