Hold off on the fly though, it probably will not fix the flag waving on VHS. try the AFC diodes though.
Well, I did already try hot gluing the bottom of the socket where everything connects. That got rid of all the arcing I could see (although the filament winding was trying to arc through its insulation, too -- I took care of that with electrical tape).

As for the AFC diodes, I already replaced the selenium pack with two standard silicon rectifier diodes. Are those unsuitable for this purpose? Should I have gone with Schottky diodes like I've seen people recommend?

EDIT: I'm sorry, you were referencing the VHS problem. I kind of moved on to a different problem when I was talking about the picture locally shrinking or getting larger. It kind of looks like the shrinking and blooming due to brightness problem that all CRT TVs have, but it's doing it even when a static image is on the screen.
