Well I took the advice of a few people and replaced cap C517 with a 220uf/35v cap and after not seeing much difference, took the advice of another expert and replaced C518 with a 470uf/35v cap. After doing this and playing around with all of the adjustment knobs the problem (for the most part) is gone and I like the way my picture looks for the most part.

HOWEVER...I did notice something now that I had not before (but was present). The right side of the picture seems to be squeezed together a bit more than the left. Here are some pics.

If you look at the crosshatch closely, you can see that the squares on the far right are narrower and compressed more than on the left. And if you look at the maze you can see that the upper right corner (and lower left) are compressed more than on the left.

How can I correct this to "even things out"?

Thanks
 
Nevermind everyone. I spent a TON of time playing with each pot, figuring out EXACTLY what they did, and after TONS of tweaking I finally have a picture I'm pleased with. The squished squares on the right of the crosshatch were fixed by adjust the vert. l and then changing the centering and size of the picture (which with the limited adjustments I was just BARELY able to accomplish). Then I fixed the remaining tiny bit of slant (left to right) by rotating the yoke and WALA! A good picture.

YAY! Now I can move on to the next parts of this project (at last!)

I just want to thank everyone for their help and advice (once again)
 
I was just about to say that those pictures looked very good.. I wouldn't have notice in the pics if you didn't point it out..
