Sounds like some tweaking of the sound detector quadrature
coil is in order.
Scenes with a lot of vertical detail generate a large amount
of high frequency video signals which interfere with the
sound subcarrier. Alignment of the sound detector becomes
more critical under these conditions. Sometimes the sound
detector will drift out of tune with age or heat and cause
this problem. The worst that may be wrong is that the video
IF strip is out of alignment, but this is highly unlikely.
To adjust the detector, find the correct coil in the sound
circuitry, either a metal can or a plastic tube with wire
wound on the outside, and find the correct alignment tool
to adjust the internal tuning slug. Tune you set to a strong
station with a program showing a lot of detail, like
Jeopardy :-) , and adjust the coil for maximum volume/minimum
buzz.
If your set has the "works in an IC" type of sound system, ignore
all of the above.
