Not normal. Looks overloaded. Try unhooking one leg of the
matching transformer & see if it gets better. Also there is a "C2 adj"
pot on the IF strip you can try. RF AGC on 9-87 turn till you get
snow then go back until it just clears up. Watch for cold joints on
the long resistor pack on the 9-88-#, wickid common.
