Possibly you can move the CRT around enough to hone in on the source?

Provided your signal source is isolated can you try powering the set without the isolation transformer? I know grasping at straws ...

On regular program material, that wiggle is so subtle it'd probably scarcely be noticeable. If noticed, some might consider it part of the 'charm' of an early TV. Sort of analogous to how a vintage radio always has bit of background hum even when the volume's off.

Others' opinions may vary.

I would of thought an electrostatic deflected CRT would be more susceptible to high voltage ripple vs magnetic field, although I get that one can be related to other.
