I have this set that came in with no vertical at all,just a line across center .I replaced the LA7838 and the resistor that supplies the vcc to the ic.I powered the tv on and not enough vertical defflection.I replaced 3 caps in the vert.ckt and I now have a full screen but there are 3 black lines about 6 inches from the top,like vertical foldover.Also,the top portion of the images,for example the head of a person is stredged.I replaced some more caps but still not right.I am working without a service manual.Maybe somebody that has winstips will have a tip or maybe a print of the vertical ckt so that I can trace the problem.I am thinking eighter a diode is bad or a resistor increased in value in the pump-up ckt but need the print.Thanks for your help.
