This is a sign of overload, especially if the stupid cable company has not leveled all their signals recently.
Pete, Thanks for the tips. I had already isolated the twin lead from the ant connect to the tuner. I will try removing an reinstalling the various tubes and also will clean up the brass contacts on the tuner drum. old_tv-nut, thank you as well for the reply. I don't receive a double or ghost image from adjacent stations. But, may try the attenuator anyway to dampen down the cable signal.
