Director 21 resto begins....

I noticed that the crosshatch pattern looks funky, anyone ever see something like this? It looks mostly fine, until the solid horizontal line passes through the vertical one right in the center. It's like the horizontal line causes some ringing in the video amp or something, see the squiggly vertical line? It also looks funny on the left side, something that was pointed out by a member on ARF. At first I didn't think anything of it, but there's clearly an issue there. See how the horizontal lines continue off screen, while the vertical line of brightness that stops near the edge?

I checked my other sets, and they don't do this. Think maybe it's because of all the inductors in this chassis? It does have 10 times the number of peaking coils than any other chassis I've worked on, but I'm inclined to believe it should still be able to display a simple cross without an issue. Thoughts?

Second shot is just more brightness than the first.
