Bob, first thank you for the explanation, It makes a lot more sense to me now. What kills me is I'm used to being able to separate things when I'm troubleshooting, and I feel like I can't here. I'd love to know that everything is good up to the choke or just past the choke and know where to look. It seems to me and I could be wrong, but the issue could be anywhere.
I'll try putting a cap in parallel with C1 and C2 that's a cool idea, should it be the same value? I will also check the current draw, I'm not sure if I can tonight but definitely by tomorrow.
I'm not sure if I'm putting too much weight on swapping the K Networks, but I'm really hoping having them replaced will at least help eliminate some of the variables. Once the picture isn't folded over on itself and fills the screen maybe we can get some direction?
Also my sound works really well it's actually loud and clear.

It is nice that the tuning capacitor is covered; it should be cleaner than the rest of the chassis.
