@gorplop@pleroma.m68k.church The flyback is related to horizontal deflection (everyone leaves the room ;] ) Vert deflection issues are usually either solder joints or a dry AC coupling capacitor to the amp.
"it works when I smack it" -> solder joint
"it works after it warms up" -> capacitor (electrolytic)
"it works when before its warmed up" -> semiconductor problem.
The capacitor in the middle of the horse-shoe shaped heatsink will be shot.
The 'organic' caps, with the translucent jackets, will be shot.
good luck!

@RueNahcMohr@infosec.exchange thanks, I didnt know that! Maybe its just a loose connection or a bad cap like you say. I have the schematics somewhere, I guess ill take it apart soon
