It's definitely extreme. I know everyone keeps saying "every CRT does that", and they certainly do to a degree, but if you saw it in person you'd know that something is definitely wrong with it. I've owned dozens and dozens of arcade cabinets and a bunch of TVs in my life. This one isn't normal. Ha.
It's my Neo19. Bought it from a TV repair place where it apparently sat for a decade or so. They told me they'd fix up the chassis before I got it as it was not working. The caps do all appear to be new (now 3+ years old, but they're very obviously not as old as the rest of the components). Maybe they really really wanted it to be fixed because they wanted the sale...
When it got home it worked great, played a bunch for a few days, then it wasn't used for a long long time as I had a proper full sized Neo cab. Then I moved, sold the big Neo back to the friend who I bought it off of, and now turning it on, this...
I wonder if one of those tiny repairs broke during the move.
