Andre, replace Q706 if you are walling on the left hand side of the
screen, its not neccesary to replace all transistors, Q706 is probably
your culprit, there's very a slim chance that Q705 causes 706 to not
deflect fuly but that is an outside chance, go for Q706 first, its the
2n3792 nearest the HV box mounted on the flat base of the chassis.
