Are these things I should consider bad

thanks for this comment - made me look again, and I now see that apparently the picture shows the internal dag (?). If the external only is underneath the shield, then it is probably OK because none of the external components, labels, etc. are disturbed.

I still think the dag is a wild goose chase for anything having to do with the jail bars (isn't that the one thing we are trying to fix here?).

Need to stop shot-gunning and try to follow clues - there is a jail bar pattern in at least some of the CRT leads, and there are questions as to why some of the waveforms are fat (high frequency or low frequency superimposed?). Should be chasing down if those scope waveforms are valid and going from there.
