Hi Jeff. If you have 140 v on the R G B cathodes, and you have no video, not even a raster trace, you'd better concentrate on G2 Don't worry about vert IC, if the set was in shut down for any cause, the crt cathodes voltage would range between 200 and 210v. bypass cap in G2?? series resistor?? bad flyback (G2 pot) something around that, possibly.
