Here are some tips I found for CTC169 bowed picture. Hope something helps.


PIX TOO WIDE & BOWED IN ON SIDES        CR4402 ,C4402



PIX BOWED LEFT AND RIGHT EDGES          CR4803 BAD, EVEN IF TEST GOOD



PICT BOWED IN, HOURGLASS LOOK           Q4802



PICTURE BOWED                           C4812 LEAKY



Bowed pix edges                         L4803 BAD CONNECTION


Pix bowed                               U4801



PICTURE BOWED AT EDGES CONVERGENCE OUT & CONTROLS NOT WORKING. 
REPLACE SHORTED C8227 LOCATED FROM BASE OF Q8123 TO GROUND



NARROW WIDTH BOWED IN ON SIDES          REPLACE LEAKY C4812 & CR4805 ZENER 
DIODE LOCATED OFF PIN 3 U4801.
