One day when we turned it on, the whole picture did not show. The sound is working, but there is only a thin strip of the screen visible. This strip runs horizontally in the middle. above and below it (the stirip of actual television) it is just black screen...it is almost as if the full screen with the picture got pancaked/squashed...does that make sense...well i was wondering if anyone know how to fix this :'(

Your vertical height got lost either due to a component (there used to be a rheostat that took care of that, but that has been replaced by a type of varistor in later sets) having gone bad, or your vertical drive voltage was disconnected.

heres the actual answer. no your picture tube has not gone out. the vertical deflection circuit has failed. you have a bad Vertical output IC and a bad Electrolytic capacitor. its a very simple repair. this usaully happens when due to bad solder connections on the IC itself.

Hinez M knows what he is talking about.He gave the answer I was going to give.Get a repair man.Won't cost as much as a new set.

I agree with Heinz M,And with crckd_cue.If you can't afford a new one,check with a thrift store.You can get a good used one there for around 25 Buck's.

The picture tube is going or has gone out of it. It's time for a new TV.
