Ok, I swapped all the 137004s with ones from another Aux board and nothing
changed.

Thanks
Rich

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
