When powered up originally, it had the typical vertical output problem. I replaced C305 & C342 Elna caps with the respective 2.2uf & 1uf caps. Now the image comes up with black bars (approx 6 inches) across the top & bottom. By adjusting the R352 (Height Varistor) to the max, the image still has about 1 inch or so of black on top & bottom, & can see the closed caption info band across the top. I also resoldered the IC301 & checked several of the caps in the vertical section.
Replace C301=1 or 2.2 uf,50v and make sure that C305 is also correct as I have sometimes put in a 1 uf,50v by mistake when the original defective one was actually a 2.2 uf,50v
