Dark vertical stripes between color bars?

I got disgusted with my VA62A and put it away quite a while ago. Last I remembered, it made colorless color bars on new and old TVs. I hauled it out today and it hasn't reformed. Plus, it makes a wicked, slowly rolling horizontal fold on my tube TVs.





The same CTC-11 shows OK color bars with no fold when I hook up my humble Leader pattern generator.



VA62A makes the same rolling fold on the older TV.





It's a poor workman who blames the tool. Perhaps I'm doing something stupid with the VA62A, but I simply got tired of horsing around with it. Meanwhile, the Leader generator makes useful patterns without any fuss.

P.S. The final photo shows the pattern that VA62A calls "multiburst bar sweep."
