What is wrong with my VCR?

[TinCanAlley]

New update. Upon connecting the VCR to composite to RF unit, it seems to work fine. Directly connected to the TV and it rolls. Figured it wasn't the H-Hold as all other images are fine, but nope, with this one I have to adjust the H-Hold to fix it and then adjust it back for the others. Don't know enough to figure out why, just know now what to do.

Now with a number of tapes, the top of the image is pulled to the left and wiggles back and forth. I seem to remember talk about this issue, but can't remember if it's the limitation of my TV or something else. I think it is unavoidable on at '74 TV, but if not, is there a fix. I've already tried the two video boards from Zenith in my TV. I thought someone noted a certain board revision that fixed, or greatly reduced this image distortion.

Now I'm off to AudioKarma to get help fixing a Sansui QRX 6001 with protection issues. Then power supply fixes for IBM 5150 and TRS-80 model 4. I'm sure my fixit list isn't as long as some here.

An image stabilizer or TBC would probably fix that.

Any inexpensive recommendations?
