I am not sure if C403k is the big blue box in the vertical---but I just had a ctc169 with partial vertical collapse (actually about 2" tall with a wierd foldover) It was the big blue cap in the vertical circuit. Sorry I can't be more descriptive (part numbers etc) but this was a used set I was fixing for myself and I had a donor chassis so I wasn't even paying attention to numbers TV Doctor Avalon, Wi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Tiedeman" <btied@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 10:17 AM Subject: [TechAssist] RCA F27201GG (CTC 169CAQS) VERT DEFLECTION? > "Momentary no vert deflection then OK".
