Got it running, but have a *really* odd problem......

Set has been totally recapped and seems to be working fine and is stable. After about 10 minutes, the picture gets a bad case of side to side "jitters", and then the horizontal becomes wavy and it loses color lock. Shortly thereafter, it starts to develop horizontal shrink and begins to lose focus. Shut it down, start it up, and the exact same thing will happen.

Tried subbing the shunt regulator, no change. I have the HV currently dialed down to about 21 kV. Something in the HV cage let out a little smoke at about the second variac power up, but I can't see anything in there that might've caused it.
