I have a Zenith-built WG K7000 that shuts off after about 20 minutes.
If I turn the game off and back on, the monitor will work again, but
only for a few minutes before shutting off again.
Obviously, this will not do.
It was recently capped, although there is a rather large cap on the
board that did not come in the cap kit and has not been replaced. You
can see the cap I mean in the following pic. It's the big dark blue one
in the top right corner of the chassis. Any chance this problem is
being caused by this un-replaced cap? Or is this symptomatic of some
other problem? It's kinda pissing me off, because the monitor works
great when it's on. Little burn, bright image, etc.

I haven't tried breaking the neck off the tube, but I may try that if
all else fails. I hear that's not a good way to *fix* monitors, though.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.
