I picked up a MK2 upright... after about 20 minutes of being on the bottom of the screen seems to compress a little and what I get is a bright line of compressed graphics running the length of the bottom of the monitor. This is a gradual change it doesnt happen instantly. Is this something a cap kit would fix? Any ideas as to what causes this? Thanks.. Dan

Yes. A cap kit is in order.

If you're losing half the scan completely, then double check for cold solder joints around the vertical transistors. But the foldover you describe sounds like you need to cap it.
