20EZ keeps getting brighter after I keep turning it down - flyback?

I have a freshly capped 20EZ with a perfect picture. Problem is, I adjust the monitor and make it look beautiful. Then, the next day, I turn the game on and the picture is overbright. I readjust it, then the next day it's brighter again! UGH! It also seems to be going more green and bright and the same time.

Is this a flyback issue?
 
Sounds like a failing flyback to me, though I'm not expert. I've worked on so many Sanyo chassis' I feel like an expert though.

Someone else is sure to chime in.

Edit:
I've cautioned this a few times, but if anyone is doing a cap kit on a sanyo at this point, you need to replace the B+ filter cap.
They seem to be getting to the age that they're failing a lot, and it's only 4 more dollars from Bob to throw it in with your kit. It's worth it to not have to take that chassis out again.
