Possible delay line problem?

I'm afraid it's hard to tell from the photo. It's generally blurry and shows some misconvergence. Not sure if the blur is your set or the camera focus.

Are you talking about the faint ghost that's about 1/2 the width of the tie, to its right? This looks wide enough that it might be a reflection in the delay line due to mistermination. How does the series 1800 ohms and 180 microhenry that loads the delay line look?
