Got a site for them?

I started another thread about the issue.
Turns out the VERT SIZE pot wires broke off causing the single vertical line.  I've likely got a bad C407 on the 16V rail feeding the vertical deflection transistors which is causing the squish I'm getting when I try to maximize the playfield size on the screen.

Oh ya, the audio is garbage for sure.  Haven't looked, but wouldn't doubt if the speaker cone has separated.  I've got a handful of amplifier chips laying around.  Sure I can make something decent out of one of them.

Capping - That's on the agenda, eventually.  Finally found C407 in the light this morning.  Top of it is really crusty, and since it's sitting in there at an angle, I'd doubt crust from something else fell on it.
Gonna search around for a cap kit later today.

Quicky video of the clean up, fix, and play.

The price was right...

Update after an hour of looking...

Figured out where the VERT SIZE wires go, soldered them back on.
Made adjustments.  Almost there, but not quite.
I can get the full picture, but not the full screen width.  If I try to get more screen width, the picture kinda squashes on the left (bottom) side.
Vertical position adjustment (VR403) on the main PCB has no effect.  Troubleshooting guide says to replace C407 for incomplete deflection.  Can't find it on the main PCB.

Just like the title says.  Picked it up on the curb side ready for the trash about a week ago.  Brought it home, blew the dust out, plugged it in.  Vertical is collapsed.  One thin multi-colored line.
Adjusting vertical size, no fix.
Started to disassemble the monitor bracketry to get a better view of the PCB, moved wiring around, 2 out of 3 wires going to the Vert Size pot broke off the control PCB, light blue and purple, FL & FM.
Trying to figure out which wire goes where as the schematics I've got don't show wire colors...if they're even standardized on these.
And I've got no idea if these wires were broken off in the first place and just laying in their respective places or not.  Could be an easy fix resoldering those 2 wires, could be a PITA fix shooting transistors later on.

If I'm reading the schematics right, FL is the wiper and I should get about 56K between that wire and pin 4 of the LC1464, and FM goes to one side of the VERT SIZE pot and should have 16VDC when powered up.

Any inputs?

Disregard...
5 minutes of Google'ing told me what I needed to know.

On to checking pieces/parts...

Just getting started on a DK3 machine I found sitting on the curb...

Cleaned it up, plugged it in, get a single vertical stripe along the monitor.  If it was a regular TV, it's got a vertical collapse centered mid-screen.
Got a troubleshooting and schematic PDFs.  Have yet to go thru them.

Question...is an arcade monitor's horizontal, always horizontal?
In other words, if it's mounted so the long axis is up/down, is it still the horizontal, or is it now the vertical?
