I'd check the yoke next. Other than that, I'd need schematic.

Only the lower half of the screen showing with a bright line in the middle. I resoldered pins of IC 500 ( vertical IC ) , Plugged it in , tv full screen appeared for a few seconds and then R420 ( 1 ohm, 1W ) smoked out. Replaced it, then R445 started to smoke. When I checked IC 500 for leak it did not show any.
