This repair tip is from another technician. Set came in with vertical collapse. Replaced vertical deflection IC LA7838, B+ resistor; still no vertical. The tech injected a vertical signal with his Sencore, still no vertical. After much checking the culprit turned out to be a shorted capacitor on the solder side, connected to pins 10 and 12 of IC LA7838. What made this repair so difficult was the shorted capacitor looked like a bright green coil, which of course, normally tests shorted.
