So I capped my friend/client's 20EZ for his PC10 today and I was greeted to a picture about an inch in width and will not adjust. B+ is at 109 which I assume is just fine, but my only concern is that the C407 I removed said something was a strange looking axial lead that said something like 10uf-blahblahsomethingsomething-350DC which I assume is talking about voltage. However, the capacitor I replaced it with was a 250v from a Bob Roberts kit.

Now I know this is vertical collapse, but is this a failure of a cap or a failure of a transistor? And if so, which one and where can I get them?
 
Did you verify that you didn't flip the service switch on the chassis? I haven't worked on a Nintendo chassis in a while, but IIRC the 20EZ is the one w/ the switch that cuts off vertical deflection.
