Fuzzing is a sign that the connectors that go from the analog board to the
monitor yoke are not making good contact.  It may also be a sign that you have 
a cold soldier.  The connectors for those same plugs are likely sources. 

Try cleaning the pins on the connector (both male & female sides).  If that
doesn't do it you can try resoldiering some of the pins on that same connector.
