RCA CTC-9 Too much horizontal deflection

[Penthode]

The hum maybe intercarrier buzz simply be due to the sound demodulator adjustment.

I would like to see a TV screen photograph of what is being discussed before jumping to a conclusion. It seems these days most viewers (not me!!) are content watching anamorphically stretched 4x3 on 16x9 displays. Who is to say that the source of video to the set is not due to a setting from a set top box and has nothing to do with the set's circuitry at all?

He did mention that they are using local cable that picks up on 2-13 on the dial.

I would guess a cap is failing.... especially if this set has not been serviced in the past 20+ years.
