The vertical deflection is crapping out. Probably a bad
solder joint on the circuit board, or an electrolytic
cap developing problems. Oh, check any connectors
on wires between the deflection yoke and the circuit board
for bad contacts. Unplug then reconnecting it may clear some
corrosion that might be causing problems.
