I have been working on this all night, and now it is finally working well enough to make in into my rotation of daily watching sets. I replaced that big"all in one component" largely because it looked like some previous repair man had melted part of it with a soldering iron. It did nothing for the linearity, but it did improve the vertical sync on weaker channels, but what is really good is that it fixed that strange VCR / tuner problem (I don't know why or how but as soon as that was changed, it worked with the VCR without those resistors, and overall reception was improved as well. It turned out the final source of vertical linearity trouble was those magnetic rings on the back of the yoke, I went to adjust them and saw that the outer one was just loose around the crt neck. It must have happened the last time I was working on it, I couldn't get it back on there (the part of the yoke it attatches to is cardboard and it was just too worn, so I had to find where it should go and then attatch it with some tape, but that seems to work.
Oh, and Steve, the main reason I decided to change my location was that after you told me of your confusion, I thought maybe no one wanted to pick up any of the stuff I have in the TV swap board because they thought I was in Louisiana, but then its probably because nobody wants a CT-92 chassis with a bad tuner or any of the various other junk in my closet.
