So, after replacing a resistor outlined in this thread:

http://www.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=265914

This is what I've got.

Width control does nothing. There are only two out of the three terminals used on the contrast control, and it looked as if someone did some soldering there. Then I figured it out.....

The contrast control has a dead spot on the far clockwise position, and now that I've got that resistor replaced and the contrast control actually does something, I realized that someone along the way wired in the contrast control backwards so that the counterclockwise position is maximum gain......

By adjusting the horizontal frequency, this is as close to a single image that I've managed to achieve.
