After being on for a while, the image suddenly jumps a bit to the left, and the lines get all "wiggly". Turning it off for a while (cools down??) fixes it for a while.
Probably a capacitor, but I don't know which one. Any suggestions?
thx, Isaac

You may use freeze spray and test one cap at a time. When you find the problematic cap the screen will go fine. (probably) If this is a cap problem...
Good luck!

Odd. I've found the exact opposite with electrolytic caps in that they tend to work better when warmer (up to a point however.)
I read somewhere that using freeze spray on an electrolytic could damage it. Can anyone confirm or deny?
I've used freeze spray on electrolytics for 40 years. Never had a recall for electrolytic damage. Chuck
OK...Good to know. Thanks,

check for poor soldering on the main pcb. Also I had to change the b+ caps in the feed to the line output stage on my E200, they were swollen, could be similar here as this poro regulation causes all sort of weird faults.
