If you follow the circuit from where the power enters, you should
eventually end up at a bridge rectifier, or set of diode rectifiers.
After these diodes are the main filter caps. They are usually the big
ones. Replace them to start. More than likely this is the fault. The
120 Hz bars is 2 X the AC line frequency. The full wave rectification
in the power supply acts like a crude line frequency doubler.

Video output has the "traditional" pair of slowly scrolling up 120 Hz
hum bars.
I was thinking that all it probably needs is a new pair of main filter
caps in the power supply. If this is the case, I should be able to
find them without a schematic since they should be the biggest ones.
If anyone has other thoughts (or a schematic!) please let me know.
Thanks in advance
