This vertical problem was thought to be up to 3 different caps by an expert based on his schematic readings. I tried his advice and it did not make a change so I put those original caps back in the panel. The person I got this set from said he would send a schematic but apparently decided not to contact me again for some inappropriate personal reason which is very good. He is an alright guy who is likely very sensitive to the common man's ways.
I thought the info and pics should be posted for others inspite of the "brush-off" I recieved.
I found a schematic from a great guy who has tons of Sam's so if anybody needs one PM me and I'll "hook you up"!
I used my average level of knowledge to review the circuit and noticed a cap on the other side of the vertical shaping transistor that those previous 3 caps were connected to. I checked voltages and pulled the cap. I found a modern cap in my old Mac monitor board I use for parts. The newer cap said ".1M" I guess that is a ".1" and "M" is not relevant because the cap seems to function correctly. I will get a capacitor checker someday. I have to get a CAIG Deoxit package to do the millions of contact points in the chassis before it is done but it works great considering it is mostly original everything. If someone has an original good Motorola cap that you see in the pic I would like to buy it because I love to make everything inside and out exactly as it was originally whenever possible.
I am in Boca Raton, Florida and if ever somebody ever needs anything you may call or write anytime. I can be very helpful in many areas and I love to meet new people for any purpose!
Thanks and have a nice day!
Sincerely, Johnny
(I am having trouble with this slow computer to get the pics up. I spent an hour and a half trying so I will do it later.)
