Based on what I saw in the cabinet, the flyback is on the back left of the display, so the display was installed sideways for some reason, and all imagery I have seen of this specific monitor has it this way. So instead of a horizontal collapse, I actually have a vertical collapse. I believe the resolve is basically the same however. I did order a bunch of replacement caps, micas, and XY transistors from Bob Roberts, so I may just do all of those parts when I receive them. Hopefully I don't hose something up.
