What you are most likely seeing is the IF/and or tuner passing video before things have fully come up to power and stabilized, this is not unusual, the alignment method of course would be to get it to pass video when it's fully up and warm.

Also, the sync sep has been shown to be in a good state already, if it was not, you would have no video lock, and or unstable video with the direct video input.

Ok true but I still have the focus coil and the peaking coil very hot this is not right for only a minute on the focus coil could be shorted but I didn’t check it yet.
