I have an issue with the character sprites having lines through them. Does anyone know which section of the schematics are responsible for this? I have linked the schematics below as well as a video of what is happening. I have checked voltages and verified the ROMs. Thanks for the help.

I'm thinking it might be in the motion object horizontal line buffer section.

Any ROTJ experts here? There's not much out there on these pcb's over the years.
 
Finally got around to fixing this. Turned out to be a bad 2149 at 4P. I had some 2114 replacements that were either bad or too slow and so the problem got worse after socketing that location. I found a faster 2114 and it fixed the game. @Atari Force , you were spot on. Thanks!
