OK, I'm going nuts. I'm focusing on V9 the 6AU6 sync separator and restore tube.

I disconnected everything from the plate except the 220K resistor going to B+

Video in on the grid is pretty clean. Cathode is clean. b+ IS CLEAN.

A few seconds after power-up, there is a 50 Vpp sine wave that slowly gives way to a mix of video and sinewave.

I've swapped out the tube several times. No change.

I examined the socket for any solder splashes or carbon tracks.

I'm going to dig up a NOS socket, build the circuit using all new parts, disconnect the old socket and wire it in. I'll just leave it unmounted until this is resolved.
