yeah IC301 handles the vertical deflection, so basically any of the tuning items in that area could be responsible for it.
i wasn't sure which part exactly was the culprit, I ended up changing 3 or 4 of the dipped ceramic/mylar caps and a half dozen resistors... maybe a diode or 2 to just shotgun blast the whole area. not something i normally do, but i'd already spent way too long on it. i'd already swapped out the ic, but did it again, just to be sure (and I had a 25 pack of them, as they go all the time)
