THanks, everyone. I am consolidating responses from two different threads.

Yes, I can no longer get analog stations, so I connected an Atari VCS to the antenna screws via an Atari RF switch box.

The reduced display size looks like the source is producing it!
A power supply problem would produce some distortion in the display, IE ripples.
The image is usually distorted when I first turn it on. I have to nudge or wiggle the channel knob a bit before the image comes in with snow. (pics below)

I bought and connected a digital tuner, and the image was still small (pic below).

For the others its the B&W chassis with modules. A common & good set.
Before we go any further need to know what experience you have.
Also if you have a meter. You WILL need a meter for the size problem.
Let me look on Utube for a tuner cleaning video. You can use
WD40 but its best to use very little & put it in the best places........
Yes, please. I bought a meter (pic below), but I am new to using them. I've poked around arcade crt monitors, but I would need guidance.
