Color Classic VGA Mod Undo?

Hey folks,

Today I decided to "downgrade" my color classic to standard resolution. It was impractical for my aging eyes.

My CC was modded using the ribbon cable, so I purchased another stock harness, thinking that would do it. Looks like it worked in terms of resolution, but now my picture is WAAAAY too wide - like outside the screen). The horizontal width is already at minimum. I feel like I'm missing something. I did this mod years ago, so I don't remember what else could be causing this. Any ideas? It's probably something simple. Oh, and I did remove R116, but it didn't change anything.
 
There are a couple of cut traces you may have missed on the analogue board. The PowerCC site has been down for months which will detail this but here is a Wayback link:

 
Yep that was it. Totally forgot about that one. Once I removed the analog board, the big wire jumper was obvious. It's back to normal deflection now and actually usable resolition, LOL. Thanks!
