Back in the fifties if the old black-and-white started acting up, if the vertical hold spazzed out or whatever, the cure was to slam the side of the TV with the heel of your palm. The theory being that this would knock the dust off the vacuum tubes. Usually worked. Now back to our previously scheduled thread.
