Decided to swap the horizontal sweep transformer out of the parts set, and looky what I got!!!!
Obviously, it's not done, but I'm a HECK of a lost closer than I was!
Now the weird part was that the readings on the transformer that was in the set weren't far off spec, but it was some replacement that was larger than the original. I figured that maybe it was wound different or something, causing the issue. Bingo!!!
Now, to fix the vertical issue and the lousy focus. At least it's nice to end tonight on a win....sort of
