Which takes me back to my original question: Where is the vertical hold IC? What's the shape and how many pins? Thanks.

There are two coils on the back of the CRT. The horizontal is connected to the horizontal output transformer (which is also the high voltage transformer, I'm sure you recognize it). Now just track the connection to the other coil. This comes from the vertical output stage, which is driven by the vertical sync circuit. If your picture is stable besides of the wrong size, its probably not the vertical IC at fault, but the power amplifier after it, or the power supply. If there are only a few lines, and they are crossing the picture diagonally, then it's the beam which is not blanked during the vertical flyback. This can be caused by a worn out picture tube, or by the grid bias voltages. I don't know about your TV, but usually there are some potentiometers for adjusting the grid voltages and slightly changing it makes the lines diasppear. That's what it lools like: http://bs.cyty.com/menschen/e-etzold/archiv/TV/uvb/img/MC47_ohneUVB.jpg Is yours similar to that? Stefan

The symptoms look more like when the picture is adjusted to large and it folds back, to where you can see and image in the lines, but upside down. Only about 1" at the top. |
