Try checking all the resistors in the horizontal circuits - after the scope has been off for 15 mins.
One might have gone high or open.

If I'm reading the schematic right, there's two tubes that do the horizontal drive, V5 (2BS8) and V6 (12BH7)
as well as a pair of pullup resistors, R50 and R48, each 22k ohms, 2W. Start checking those.

Why do you call this an Auto Ignition Oscilloscope? It is just a typical hobby grade scope from 1960. A manual is on the BAMA site.
This is not a binaries newsgroup, so it doesn't accept attachments.
Check the plate voltage on both halves of the Horizontal driver tube. It looks like pin 10 of the CRT is the right side deflection plate.

The Heathkit IO-20 was an Ignition Analyzer. It used a 12AX7 for the Horizontal drive. The plate resistors are 470K They are fed from a 350 VDC source and the CRT is a common 5UP1. It came with the clip on probe for the spark plug wire.

Being fully calibrated, DC coupled with mag shielded CRT and regulated HT rails put in the " service / lab" category.
Sure, 200kHz vertical BW is not great but still very usable for most service jobs and for students doing science / engineering classes.

I considered anything under 5 MHz to be hobby grade, since I worked in video. My current scope is a Tektronix 2465A I have two of the 2465 as well. I also have two of the Tektronix P6201 900MHz FET Probe 010-6201-00 to xamine crystal oscillators and
tuned circuits, with minimal loading.

i checked every resistor, all check good. i checked the pots, all good. i checked the voltage to a and b terminals on the crt, close to whats listed on the schematic. whats makes this different than a bench scope is it has no internal trigger. it is
only triggered externally by an inductive pick up. same for the vertical , another pick up. one problem is i dont know how to induce anything to get it do do something on the bench other than a dot. however, if i turn it on, you can see the dot dive
bomb to the right, and then come back from right to center. seems to me that indicates the crt is working ok. i posted a video on youtube.

https://youtu.be/be-Nae-sIYQ

still , when hooked to an 8 cyl engine, i get a normal image from left to center. from center to right it appears to be collapsed or squished toward the center. where the pattern ends at the center, the line is fairly thick and intense, like a partial
collapse of a cga crt.monitor. thanks for any input.

If all the tubes are OK and the voltage too - not much is left but the CRT.

Two possibilities:

1. Because of being used around cars, it is likely to have fallen onto a hard surface once or twice.

2. The steel case is magnetised - deflecting the trace.

i considered it may have been dropped. did you look at the video? im thinking if one of the defectors was damaged, the trace wouldnt move the way it does when it starts up, but maybe im off on that.

Heathkit used aluminum for most of their cabinets.
The CRT has a MuMetal shield.

Do you have a schematic and a real oscilloscope? http://www.rsp-italy.it/Electronics/Kits/_contents/Heathkit/Kits/Heathkit%20IO-20%20ignition%20analyzer.pdf

I see a NE2 neon and a diode used in previous stages that could affect linearity, but I don't have a parts list. There is a pot off the Neon lap marked 'Right Adjust'.

Fair Radio still has some unused 5UP1 CRTs

Maybe in Oz. HP and Tektronix used a lot of aluminum for their oscilloscope cabinets. Those aren't rare, among engineers or real techs.

Sigh, you are the queen of posting nonsense.

Look at the photos in the Ebay link that I posted and see inside the IO-20 for yourself. I've repaired a lot of Heathkit equipment, and most of it used aluminum, except for some stereo equipment. They sold wood cabinets to cover a bare steel chassis, or
you could build them into custom cabinets.

I built my first Heathkit about 55 years ago. I built dozens for myself, and others.

I also used a Heathkit color bar generator to transmit a color station ID from a black and white TV station. I genlocked it to our master Sync Generator, then used the monochrome video keyer to add color to a B&W 35mm slide. The information was displayed
on the AFRTS page of the US DOD website for about a decade, before they purged all the shared emails.

The other links included a schematic for the OP and a source for a new CRT, if needed.

A working scope is quite handy when repairing an ailing scope.

Your ignorance is showing again. The only steel cased scope I ever knowingly owned was an RCA. It was so old they called it an oscillograph. I've seen the Philco and Sylvania versions of the 3" WWII military scopes that were crammed into tiny steel boxes.
I wouldn't even use one for audio work. They sat on a shelf at TV shops for decades because no one would use them.

Heathkit used aluminum, because they could produce their cabinets in house with simpler machine tools. Just because you are ignorant doesn't change any facts. Heathkit also had to consider shipping costs, since hey sold to hobbyists and repair shops
where their only advantage over other kit suppliers was maybe a dollar or two. Therefore, they were more compact and lighter than failed companies like EICO. My first scope was an EICO 460 that was given to me because the CRT filament winding was shorted
to the core. It was twice as heavy as a similar Heathkit, and not as well designed.

Heathkit got into electronic kits after WWII when there were millions of pounds of military grade components being sold for pennies on the pound. New CRTs were well under a dollar, so the designed a scope from what they could get.

Their prior products included a small, single engine airplane and furniture kits. They also sold electric organ kits, based on commercial products where you coukld save 1/3 to 1/2 overt the retail price by assembling the kit. A far cry from Dick Smith in
OZ.
