First re-estimate it so you get paid for this nightmare unit. 2nd check your +28 V at pin 8, and the same at pin 11, I think (vert pump up). Next, you MUST HAVE 10 or 11 volts at pin 1, if not there is a zener diode real close to the pin that will cause vert collapse, stretching in the middle....even if it's off by 0.2 volts!! Since you checked the caps I assume you also checked the Vert B+ off the IHVT.
