TEK 7704A: Readout characters shift horizontally with beamsw

Before I dive into this beast, I thought I'd better consult you folks
first...

I have a Tek 7704A, working and mostly looking good.

One thing I notice though is that the readout characters shift a bit
to the right while the beam is sweeping from left to right. When the
beam is blanked (and goes back to the left) the readout characters pop
back. Readout Mode switch is in 'Free run' position, by the way.

It is only a minor shift, say 1/20th of a graticule unit, but annoying
nevertheless, especially at low sweeptimes when using a 7L12.
Offhand, I'd say there is a power supply that isn't stable. Or is this
normal behaviour? Nah....

I'd be grateful for any pointers before I whip out the schematics and
DVM...
