I wonder if this would be improved by reducing the value of the 0.1uF capacitor, or if maybe some sets are unsuitable for this mod.
So getting back to your sync disturbance issue - your sync is being pulled off the bottom of L7 with very little isolation from your DC restoration diode. So it's no surprise that there is some push-back loading effect on the sync when the diode conducts heavily. I'd be curious to read the thread that this method your using originated from.
