I have a 35" RCA TV (ctc 187 Chassis) that has a problem that when the TV is first turned on I have no Vertical or Horz. sync. untill it warms up about 10 min or so. First Horz sync it gets in then Vert roll slowly stops. After its warmed up the set works fine. I don't have any diagrams on the set nor any O'scope to trace the problem out. I've repaired TV's several years ago, but am flying by the seat of my pants on this one. Any Help would be wonderful. Thanks Charles

Bad electrolytic caps in the sync section. Get a schematic unless you have a lot of time to waste.
You might try a small heat gun pointed at various componenets to see what area of the chassis is the problem. Without a schematic, you are shotgunning the set.
