"Momentary no vert deflection then OK". At start up. I hope some one can shed some light on this problem, At turn on you see a collapsed vert deflection (about 1\4" deflection) then I hear the relay click an the set comes on full deflection as the CRT heaters lights up the tube. The regulation is good around 143 volts similar in standby. I did change the cr4118, Q4402 and Q4202. Soldered all board connections in Vet circuit. Replaced C403K. I am starting to go around in circles on this set. Trying to figure out the theory of operation. I am working off of a CTC169 print but has different parts than shown in data base. U4501 the vert drive switch shows a drive pulse OK at turn on. . Sorry if my explanation is vague. I also changed the degaussing switch transistor! As soon as I hit the tack switch the vert line shows up, then the relay sounds and the picture comes in ? I don't want to send out this set as is. The original condition was regulator problem which has been repaired , then I noticed this. Should not see any kind of visible deflection this soon at turn on? Bruce.
