I've had to repair a few VT220s with no horizontal

due to bad contact at the horizontal hold preset. Pull the case, note the

putting it back to the original postion. Power up and most likely the
picture will be locked. If it is, put the case back on.
I'll certainly give that a try the next time I have a VT220 flake out on me.
Thanks for the tip.
