Paul, did you recall ever seeing a classic Mac with the whole screen
image shifted slightly to the left.. as if its center was off?
That's the OTHER problem I'm having with this Plus analog board...
unrelated to ticking sound.  Swapping analog boards solves the
centering, so I know it's not the CRT yoke or logic board.   I'm
*assuming* a problem in the video or horizontal sweep circuits.. with
some signal not being delayed enough by some minute fraction.   While
the Mac has a width control, it doesn't have a center control.
