Your VCR and Laserdisc players could be worn out, and the JVC could also have some weak components, and it's only when two weakened devices are combined that you see the greatest issues in the raster.
The DVD player is a newer device with a much cleaner signal.
Either way, you shouldn't be seeing all that smearing and ghosting, and there's either something wrong with both the Laserdisc player and the VCR, there's something wrong with the TV, or both.

Just thought I would post an update. I finally got a chance to try a different VCR. It’s an older model from 1984 that I just refurbished with new belts and what not, and it has the exact same issue on this crt, just slightly worse. Both VCR’s also do the same thing on RCA and RF. I’ve also noticed that while it does smear in laserdiscs, it’s not nearly as bad as it does on the VCR. But again nothing from video game sources like my snes or from newer video sources like a DVD player.
Pretty much given up at this point, outside of a full tear down and recap of the TV I doubt it’s something that’s really fixable. Next step is to find an SVHS player and see if the TV likes the svideo signal any better I suppose lol.
