RCA ctc36 short issue?

Hi everyone,

So I have been working on the rca ctc 36 that I bought off ebay a few weeks ago. Things were going good, after recapping I put the chassis back in and got an image with some color issues and horizontal hold issues. I pulled the chassis, replaced 3 resistors, and cleaned the controls, but since then when I reinstalled the chassis and tried again, all I get on screen is the 3 color horizontal lines you get when you are in service mode. My first thought was perhaps there were tin whiskers in the controls on the back. They had been dirty before and had some bad spots that made the screen go to the horizontal lines when I adjusted them, but I measured all of them and they all were working right. The switch for service mode also is working fine. Next I thought maybe I messed up replacing the 3 resistors, but they all seem fine. The circuit measures out ok and nothing seems out of place. I'm not sure what to look for next. I can't think of anything else I may have done that could have caused this issue. Any suggestions are much appreciated, I always hate going backwards in progress through human error.

Here are some photos of the chassis as a whole and the board where I replaced the 3 resistors. The shot of the back is a bit out of focus but I can tell I have not caused any shorts.
