I pulled the chassis box for a dead set,no click. The +12V run was
shorted due to a shorted tuner IC U17701.
Fixed that and I ran it on cart with a ceiling mounted screen all day
but that method is not the best to see linearity.
After installing in the box I saw a severe bow on the left and right
sides.Pincushion distortion.
Please, if there's any documented known culprits for this in the  195's
I could use one!
(Of course, a rush job)
