There can be many things that can cause a jumping or unstable picture. The power supply is the starting point. You would have to be able to monitor the voltage outputs to determine if there is instability.

Then there is the testing of the circuit boards by monitoring the proper waveforms, as per indicated in the service manual. You will require the proper test instruments for this. Once the defective board is found it will have to be replaced.

If the set is out of warranty, it may be more worth while to replace it. Servicing out of warranty can be too expensive to be cost effective.

Picture jumping

If this jumping is accompanied by a sharp snapping sound, it may be the high voltage circuit discharging to chassis. Leakage can cause the jumping and a discharge can momentarily blank the picture.

If you want to try a 'cleaning cure,' I suggest you pull the plug (not just turn it off) for several hours, preferably overnight. Sets of this size can carry enough static charge to punch a hole through your thumb if you get careless.
Remove the rear housing (shouldn't be more than 6-8 screws) and using a clean paintbrush, and possibly a vacuum to **** up the dust, clean it well and pay special attention to the area around a largish misshapen black plastic object bigger than most anything else and connected to the back of the picture tube via a fairly thick cable.
