Sanyo 20EZ Monitor - Slight Wiggle - Anyone know how to fix?

Capped a Sanyo 20EZ monitor on DKJunior. Now, I get this very slight wiggle left to right on the picture. I turned up the flyback completely as well as the brightness pot for 5 minutes. Then, checked B+ to make sure it stays at 108vdc. That checked fine. Turned back flyback and brightness pot on chassis and still get this tiny wiggle. Anyone know how to fix this?
 
Sanyo Monitor

It's not a flag waving. If you look at the screen and stare at it, you could see it jiggle just sooooo slightly. You really have to stare at it to see it wiggle.
 
Try this. There are 2 pots on the main pcb. When the monitor is doing it's jiggle, adjust those pots and see if it stops. Those pots are notorious for causing jiggle and are available at Bob Roberts. There is one on the monitor adjustment board that can also cause this.

Yup, mine was doing that and was able to stop it by adjusting the pots slightly and back. It definitely sounds like the same issue.
 
V hold pot

Adjust the V hold pot, also maybe move the screen over slightly on the pcb. I spent hours on mine to stop this and it worked!
 
Sorry for the necro-bump, but, does anything else cause this kind of wobble? It's just very slight, right to left "wiggling.:

I've recapped two Sanyo EZ-20s (including filter caps), replaced all the pots on the remote board, and the pots on the game boards (DK Jr, Mario Bros) and yet the issue persists on both cabinets/monitors. I've been adjusting for over an hour and I cannot get it to go away. B+ is a solid 108V.
