How is the dag on the outside of the CRT grounded? Perhaps there is some arcing that is causing the interference? A fair amount of surface area is needed where the ground connection is made to the dag. Learned this back in my "poor starving young engineer days" where all that we had for a color tv was a small group of 4s that were patched together well enough to sorta work on a rotating basis. One of mine got necked (sliding closet door accident) and all that I could get was a rebuilt 21FBP22. It took a bit of effort to get the jug grounded well enough to stop the interference streaks in the picture.
