Wavey, meltish picture on monitor

Hi, I got a old NEC (1992ish). Its picture tends to wiggle a bit, like its
melting at times, and a bit faster at other times to look 'wavely'. Any
suggestions on what would cause this? Thanks.

Usually this is caused by some of the capacitors in the power supply, HV
drive, and scan circuits. As they age they can go high in their ESR. They
will require to be replaced to fix the monitor. Considering the age of the
monitor, it will not be worth the investment, unless you really want to keep
the monitor.

Actually, that would only be part of the problem.

NEC makes good monitors, but God help you if you actually have to take one
apart to do a repair. Those things have shielding out the ying-yang, all
assembled to the point where getting it all apart becomes a cruel puzzle. -

They're not really that bad, they just look super complex. I usually take
some digital pics when I tear a monitor apart, the old NEC's were a ton more
complex than other monitors of the day but modern monitors for the most part
have caught up. There's a reason NEC monitors had such stunning pictures at
the time.
