Hey guys, I have one chassis that is really kicking my ass. The screen is sucked in horizontally, as in not straight up and down. Probably a good inch in the middle on each side.
I am leaning towards the low b+ voltage causing this problem. It does adjust but won't get past 100v.

New cap kit, flyback, x04, HOT, filter cap, and adjustment pot. R908 tests good as does the two 900 transistors.

Any ideas?
 
check values of resitors in 900's.. make sure nothing opened or has drifted value.
 
Thanks guys, I will go through it really closely. I am leaning towards a resistor in the 900's but I will also check the neckboard, I dont think I really looked at that.

Got my schematic in hand now as well, better than just shotgunning parts :)
 
It was FR901 220 ohm fused resistor. Blown open. I should have known, some one recapped it before me and had the cap next to it backwards.
120v B+ now and the picture is nice and straight.
