I'm quite sure the problem is on the aux board. Swap all 137004 and look if
something changes...

It was difficult to catch the distorted objects in a picture so I took a
couple of videos of it. It happens on the right side of the screen about an
inch from the side.
This video shows the objects distortion:

This one shows the distortion in the E of the word Battle.

Yes, it's better to have some photos. I can't understand if it is a power
problem(ripple capacitors and/or TO3 transistors) or a math problem
