In regards to those trailing ghosties, be sure and check peaking coils L105 and L106 for continuity.
Seems like the tearing/'flagging' is related more to signal overload than horiz. adjustment since it straightens up as you lower the contrast. This set doesn't appear to have any AGC (automatic gain control) at all. The contrast ('Picture') control adjusts the gain of the 2nd IF tube, requiring you to manually adjust it for varying signal strengths. Too strong a signal and the pic gets the bends. Just one of the charms of the old beasties, sorta like riding the gain on an old TRF radio.
