I’m seeing both vertical and video problems. Make sure you put the correct value caps in. +1 on what Bob said on the linearly and height controls. Since you have good sound, that pretty much rules out tuner and IF. Check your video detector diode. Horizontal looks good and i don’t see sync issues. Look from your video detector to your output. Did you check the picture tube? Remember, this may use 2.5v NOT 6v! Don’t blow your filament!! You might post a pic of a video also. Hope this helps some. Oh, some audio output tube circuits are used as a voltage divider, so a problem there can affect other parts of the set.
