I've got a Toshiba 19" TV, probably a late 80's model. Picture still pretty good, but it's cutting off quite a bit on the top and bottom. I remember TV's used to have a V & H hold on the back. Would this TV still have a V hold setting on the inside that I could adjust? I know about the dangers of opening a TV.
The fault you are describing is usually attributed to failing components in the vertical deflection circuit. Most of the time, after the set is a number of years old, the electrolytic capacitors start to fail mostly in the scan circuits, and power supply.
If your set was working well when it was new and now has a fault, the set will have to be serviced to restore it back to proper operation.

Yeah prolly, but I expect you'd want to tweak the height adjuster instead. there's a possibilkity that the adjustment is done using the remote in some arcane fashion too.

ISTM that sci.electronics.repair would have been a better choice.

if the scan lines are starting to seperate you wil probably find that the vert amp has a capacitor thats on its way out. Look for capacitors with a metalic-coloured looking jacket, or ones that aren't just sheathed in black, they tend to be the organic ones that fail first. Also look for capacitors leaking goo out one leg
