Gould Oscilloscope OS1200 Sweep compression

I have just recently aquired a Gould OS1200 oscilloscope.

Basically it works fine except that the Sweep trace compresses up on the right hand side of the when I set the timebase to 5uS and up.

I have measured most test points on the Horizontal timebase PCB and cannot find anything unusual.

Please the following example pictures showing the compresses trace. Also have photos showing the Sawtooth ramp generator and ramp output if this helps.

I am really lking for some guidance on where I should be checking.

Regards Ivan

Have checked them and they seem OK allthough the voltage on the plates are a bit low. I have had sugestions that the problem may lay in the timing of the Hold off/blanking circuit.
