So, tomorrow, I suppose I'll move the heavy thing off the cart so that I can resolder the connections on the vertical module, clean the controls, and clean and retension the module contacts. This set uses a different vertical module than what is used in the delta gun sets. This TV has the vertical output transistors on the chassis, while the delta gun sets have them on the module itself. Also, my vertical hold control is on the rear; while the delta gun sets have the control on the front.

Thanks for the update. It's funny. I know this guy who will fix ANY, I mean ANY TV model or year, but it MUST be a motel set. When I was having issues with my RCA, he would not even take a look at it. I was even willing to pay him for that. I never really understood the difference between a motel and regular set. Why would someone fix ONLY motel sets, but not any regular sets?
