It's 1961, right? A 1958 RCA color set would be still very new.
Did any 3-year-old RCA TV sets ever blow their filter capacitors? Isn't a dried-out or leaky capacitor an age-related failure? Like after 15 or 20 years, minimum?

That seems true. I would make the symptom a simple rolling vertical hold, the repairman knows it's a sync tube, but he doesn't have a spare in his caddy. Rather than appear incompetent, he takes the chassis into the shop. Then he sends his least-favorite co-worker out later to put the chassis back in, to distribute the tea-n-cookie torture evenly.
