Is this the first time you've looked at the VCR signal on this set? It could be the recovery from the head switching transient that many pre-VCR sets suffered from.

Is it steady, or does it wave from side to side? Waving = head transient. Perfectly steady = some coupling from vertical sweep into horizontal, possibly a bad power supply decoupling cap.
