Commodore 1701 Monitor issues, please help/diagnose?

[Capitalistix]

While this technically isn't an "arcade" issue, its definitely a CRT monitor issue so I hope to find some aid here in case this has happened to anyone's TV or arcade monitor. I recently purchased a Commodore 1701 monitor (for the Commodore 64 computer, still has normal AV inputs though) and it powers on just fine but when the C64 is connected (either to the luma/ chroma in back or the AV ports in front) it wants to show the normal blue Commodore BASIC screen, but its got these diagonal "tears" through the screen. Ive troubleshot a few arcade CRTs before (rejuvenating, cap kits etc.) but Ive never seen anything like this. Im wondering if anyone knows whats causing this and what I might be able to do to fix it? Any info would be greatly greatly appreciated!

Im thinking this might be a bad capacitor issue?

Heres a pic of the problem:

It looks like a horizontal sync issue for starters. Does is display other colors?

Edit: reread and saw that the all blue commodore screen is expected.

Looks like horizontal sync to my nubile young eyes.

The service manual states problems with horizontal sync can be caused by a faulty IC in the monitor (IC501) to be exact. Could this be it? If so, does anyone know where I could locate such a specific IC?

Heres a video of turning the Vertical hold and H. Position pots, as instructed to by a member of another forum:

Okay, nevermind... I plugged the commodore's PSU into its own outlet and it works just fine now. I had previously had the C64 plugged into a power strip. Im assuming it had something to do with the C64 not getting enough power and thus sending a screwed up signal to the monitor!

Cool, glad you got it working!

It's always nice when a problem shakes itself out!
