K7000 tweaking - finally working on this after 2 years
I have had this MK1 restoration project for a long time now, and I finally got it up and running last night for the first time in close to 2 years. When I first fired it up, the monitor was dark, and not adjusted properly at all. I turned the color cutoffs down all the way, and began adjusting the flyback screen, then the monitor brightness, then I brought up the color drives. I am not sure if this is the best way to do it, but you can see my colors now. I have a few questions:
1. I found this video from Buffet on adjusting the pots for a K7000. Is this probably my best resource for this:

Here are my current bars, not perfected yet (the cutoffs are set all the way down)
2. See these lines on the left-side of my screen. They are not there when the monitor is off, only when it is on. It looks as if this chassis has new caps and a newer flyback, but does this still look to be a cap issue? You can see the lines in the following 3 photos:
