I have the term block in there so I can reconfig it to whatever.
Your extra long CRT wires and the terminal strip aren't an ideal situation. A lot of manufactures intentionally separated the video wire from the others to eliminate stray capacitance. Personally I would get rid of the terminal strip and shorten those wires. Not a guarantee it will fix all smearing, but what you have there is poor practice considering the frequency response of the video signal.
