Swapped out with the spare and the issue persists! what are the odds this one is faulty in exactly the same way? I could try a new one or test all the resistors in the area!

was the chassis working fine at one point?
be77amyX:
honestly I'm not sure. It was dead when I first got it, there was a wire broken on TH1 which I managed to get soldered back on which brought it back to life. The distortion I'm seeing now was definitely there last time I tried to fix it but not as bad I don't think. I played a lot of Galaga on it which is now impossible cause when the enemies fly over the warped bit the flight pattern goes mental. Could it be a problem with the tube? I don't mind replacing every component on the chassis if I have to but I don't wanna do that only to find there's an issue with the tube!

whats the reading of the vertical winding of the yoke? it should be around 12 ohms
be77amyX:
reads 14.3 Ohms. The schematic says 15 Ohms so I guess this is OK?
