Thanks for all the information on VCR's. The "pull" was only on the top. I have tried many combinations of TV and VCR, they are all about the same. I think the RCA vcr with the 67 magnavox "portable" B&W gave the straightest picture. The biggest difference was what tape I used, which now makes sense. I don't have a JVC vcr, do they all have the timebase corrector, or just some of them?
On a sort of related note I've noticed that some DVD's have these "white blocks", which show up intermititantly in the dark part of the picture above the screen. You can see them if you adjust the vert. hold so the top of the picture is in the middle of the screen. On disks like this I always get vertical retrace lines on all of my sets when these white blocks appear. By adjusting the vert. hold I can get these lines down to one or two at the top of the screen, but not to go away completely. The only set on which I could get them to nearly entirely go away was one of those late model GE's- all compactrons with a solid state audio amp and hv rectifier. Is there some way to fix this?
