The set was producing an intermittent squiggle in the picture that was quite annoying. Sometimes it was pretty serious. R68, a 15k 10 watt resistor, was put together using a couple of 4700 and a 5000 ohm resistor. It was mentioned in the schematic that they might do it that way. One of the three checked a little high, so I was getting 18k across the three instead of 15k. One of the side notes said to use a wire wound resistor, but the two 4700 resistors were carbon. I pulled them out and place a 10k wire wound in it's place and the squiggles stopped.

I've found the width problem... it was my own fault. There were two caps grounded in the same spot (the blue and orange one in the above photo, lower right corner) that I wired the other ends in each other's spot. One was a .004, and the other a .02 mfd. After realizing this and putting them back the way they were supposed to be, the width popped back exactly as it should have been.
