You can chase your tail forever on this vertical problem and never find the cause without a schematic......or a little help. Check the FLYBACK for an open winding, pins 2 and 3, this winding is in the vertical circuit and you should have continuity from the vertical yoke, through pin 2 and 3 of the flyback, to and through pins 1 and 6 of the horiz drive transformer T4301 to the anode of SCR501 (4501) in the vertical output circuit. If this path is open.....no vertical deflection. Problem could also be SCR4501 or ic U4501 or any of the components in that circuit as well. Jim Myers Telrad Electronic Services Co.

It has audio and you can tell there is video in this line. I don't have a schematic so am hoping someone can lead me in the right direction. I have already replaced the normal cr4118, c4102, c4104, c4703, c4612 and c4511. All to no avail. The standby voltages and b+ are good (12.2 v. at cr4118 K, and 139 v. at q4401 Col. The horizontal flyback pulse looks good. I have also checked the yoke, it is very similar in resistance and inductance as a ctc187 yoke so I suspect it is OK. If anyone has some suggestions to lead me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
