Al, Here's something you may want to check, I had a similar problem( distorted picture, looked like poor aft and also poor sound, also picture was out of sync horizontally and vertically) with a slightly older Quasar. After spending numerous hours and replacing numerous parts(IC101,IC301, X101 saw filter, L152 aft coil, X102 4.5mhz trap) I still had the same problem. The fix was a open VCO coil L104. This coil is located off of pins 15 &16 of IC101. One of the wires was broke off of one of the posts inside the coil. Removed the outside can and resoldered wire back on to solve the problem. By the way I don't have the exact schematic for your set, but have several that are close.
