Macintosh 128k Help

So, I posted here about a year ago about a 128k Macintosh that I got off of craigslist. Since then I figured out that the ram was bad and replaced it. I've got to a point where the computer functions but the video has a major issue. I have been unable to find the issue so far, so here I am again! For further reference, I do have logic probes and an oscilloscope at hand if that helps fix the issue.

Where is your arrow pointer? When you move it around the screen, does it also show up more than once? Do you have two arrow pointers moving simultaneously?

 
Could this be caused by a bad mux or demux (assuming the 128K has anything like that) causing the same data to be stored multiple times to the framebuffer?

 
Probably not, I already replaced the MUX chips with brand new Motorola chips but this next chance I get I'll test them with my logic probe to see if I scorched the chips while soldering.
