Star Wars vector issues (6100)

Happy New Year everybody...

I picked up a Star Wars with a 6100 a while back - I'm just getting around to
messing with it. Right now I've got some vertical stretching/distortion, as
well as a couple vector-related issues in spots:

Stretching in the center of Y axis, compressed on top and bottom:

(stretching is most obvious in this pic)

Vector "tearing":

(bottom part of the "I" on "Insert" is falling off)

I know pincushion is an artifact of Star Wars on a 6100, but this center
bowing/distortion is different. It's only on the Y axis as you can see in the
first pic. It's also definitely a board-related issue - I've had my SW hooked
up to another 6100 and the issue showed up on both. Has anyone seen this
before, and if so, where can I start to fix it?

This brings up a second question: is it worth capping vector boards? For the
distortion, I'm guessing this *might* be cap-related on the AVG board, and DAC
related for the vector tearing... Suggestions?

I've tried the obvious monitor & board adjustments - BIP adjustments, etc.
