I'm still holding out hope I can fix it without having to drop it in the mail. So, I think I will try your suggestion above first. The image is back to being jittery like the original video I posted. I want to pull the monitor back out of my Battlezone and see if the shake goes away with different equipment. I will have to do this tomorrow though.
I am also seeing an issue where the image isn't centered. I can mess with the pots that control height and width but the image still isn't centered so the top 1/8th of the screen isn't usable. Any idea on that?

Yep. You have bad sockets. Common problem on these.
You can either clean the chips and sockets, or have the sockets replaced. The cheap option is to buy one of these:

And one of these:

And clean the chip legs, and treat the sockets. That might fix it, or it might fix it for a while, depending on how bad they are.
As for the AR, the 2N3055 (big bottlecap transistor in the center) is likely just old and tired. It should be replaced. If not that, then the LM305 regulator next, but try the 2N3055 first.
I can do all of this for you, if you just want to send it all in.
