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
