Did the replacement have a rewound primary? If not could be it's starting to give up the ghost too.
A crummy ground is better than none. As it stands with out a ground it's getting it ground though the neutral side of the ac line via the line bypass caps. Try grounding it to the outlet and see if that helps. It's should make the vc work better (more control). It may not do anything about the signal level going up and down while the vc is stationary.

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
