Anybody know what might cause black streaks like this?

I got it the other day, calibrated it the best I could, but haven’t opened it up. Brightness is turned way down and they’re still there. Maybe a bit better than this picture, but there nonetheless.

I’m fine to recap it and see if that helps anything though. I looked quickly but didn’t see a place that sells kits for this (14N6U). Any pointers there?

I’d 💯 start with caps, and then maybe adjust the purity ring, but almost always the caps.
A local friend recaps and services them, I’ll see if he has a cap kit. When I needed caps for my 8044q he had them.

My current setup is on a Sony 25inch Trinitron. I was lucky to get it from my wife’s great aunt before it got thrown out.

These pictures suck, but I'm enjoying Policenauts, about 1.5 hours in.
I've reached the point where I'm adjusting geometry for the game I'm playing :-/
Saturn and PSX are weird though, 240p to 480i, never going to be perfect.

That game is so good.

One thing I used to do with various systems having different overscan areas is to use the over/underscan options and adjust them independently. Then that basically gives you three different settings you can change on the fly. For example, I might have the regular geometry set with a CPS2 test pattern, and the underscan button is adjusted with a Genesis game to eliminate all color borders in Sonic, so when I play a Genesis game I just press the underscan button.
