This is really a plug for Tech Repair CD. I replaced the vertical output IC401/LA7838, all the caps in the vertical section, and the diode off the flyback. Some of the caps were high ESR, but after replacing everything, I still had retrace in the top half of the pix with movement in the lines. Found R521, 1.2 ohm, 1/4 watt open, thanks to a tip on Tech Repair CD. Admittedly, if I had the schematic for this set, it would have been an easy fix, but I didn't. I need all the help I can get--like anyone else I know.
