EDIT: Iwas able to swap the Audio Output tube and the Vertical output tubes which are both 10C8 tubes and I was able to almost fill the entire screen except for the very top of the screen and that was with the height and vertical linearity controls jacked up about 3/4 of the way up.
So it seems that now I know that the TV's issue is a combination of a weak 10C8 tube and some bad capacitors in the vertical section. Which like I said I had already ordered some new capacitors for the TV and should be getting them by Thursday.
