Hi!

I just recently came into possession of a Philco Predicta Holiday that seems to mostly work. After adjusting the horizontal and vertical knobs, I’m getting a picture after running a Blu-Ray player via composite to an RF modulator, coaxial cable and transformer to the VHF inputs. However, the image is slanted/skewed. Is this a common issue?

(Running the Blu-ray menu of Jonny Quest!)

Thanks for any advice or fix suggestions!
