I pulled the chunk and benched it.Slid the main board out and 
over,studied the bottom under high magnification. I found no cracks 
mentioned or bad traces so far. What I did find was at the junction 
where the yellow yoke wire solders to the board,( location terminal ID 
"E502" ) and R523, a distinct ring crack all around both wire and 
resistor . Had to use good light and my nerdy magnifier hood with both 
lenses down! Tho I never actually saw a vertical collapse during the 
effect, I bet  what I saw with the video flashing was the TV 
safety-blanking the video as this connection arced.  Make sense? Will 
let you know.
