Just a hunch, but back off the contrast a bit and see if it helps. One of the video circuits may have low drive.
I'm already sure backing off the contrast will help. In fact, I wonder why it's set uip to 3/4 of the way by default? It was set at that on my original Colortrak too.

What would cause a video circuit to have low drive? Bad caps? I see this type of smearing on a lot of older TV's...
