the image is scrolling up and sideways. Was working fine for a while....

I have tried to adjust with pots - almost get it to stop scrolling, but can't get it to stay in position. It starts to move again in a couple of minutes,

I keep reading about cap kits but the monitor picture is great. If it really needs a cap kit - which one? Not sure which chassis /monitor is in it.

Can I just replace the pots - or am I missing something basic that can fix this?

Thanks,
Chris
 
Caps affect more than just colors and deflection. They can also cause problems in sync circuits too.

So, it was working fine for months, then started getting touchier and touchier about sync, and now you can't get it to lock in at all? It does sound like a capacitor issue. Could also be a cold solder joint on the sync connector, but that would just cause it not to sync at all.

What kind of monitor is it?
