It's a shot in the dark, but just for the heck of it, try subbing the 3rd IF tube. On multiple occasions, I've had the 3rd IF cause ringing/smearing effects (albeit not of the duration yours has). This was even tho the tube tested 'good'.
I've switched all of the video and sync tubes 2 or 3 times. Unfortunately no change.
